Just got my hands on a pro b/c a bar closed down and I had it on route there. Babysitting it for a few months until COVID clears up and places reopen.

Anyways, totally digging it. Very fun and addicting.

Couple of questions:

-What the heck is with the "100K Super Jackpot". Am I missing something? First, no idea how I even get it. But more importantly, 100K?? I'm SUPER confused (pun intended).

-I remember on the early code when I played it, there was a moment in the game where you could rip the spinner for insane points. Is that still there? I can't even remember what I did to trigger that 2 years ago.

-Love the BK2K music in the retro multiball mode, but let down by the fact that when it comes on, it just seems so...muted? You'd think that would be a good moment in the game where something cool happens and the music cranks up, not get muted! (more of a gripe than a question).

Anyways, when I reviewed this on "Bro, Do You Even Talk Pinball" a couple of years ago, I gave it a 7.5. I may have to revisit this on our next podcast.

Wow, really? That's...interesting.... but super, super not intuitive. I appreciate Tim thinking outside of the box here, but the game needs to provide some direction that that is how you do it (callouts, text in video, etc).

It's also crazy that there's no callout when the sword is charged, that I'm aware of. I mean, isn't that the name of the game? Speaking of name, why when you spell RAGE, it doesn't charge the sword, but it lights mystery? How does that make any sense?

This game is fun, I'm addicted. But it still only feels like 85% done in terms of things needing things in place to make it the great game that's hiding in there.

I'll look back to try and find your recommendations, thanks. Podcast is not until the end of the month. I've probably played a solid 5 hours worth in the last 48 hours alone.

Thanks man.

One other immediate thought that I had and didn't see is that it would be nice if the enemies that you fight had a health bar, like in Deadpool. It's just a nice touch that connects you to the game and helps indicate how close you are to beating it.

You wouldn't have to get rid of a mode timer if you included a bar. And you could even have text saying how many shots left. In other words, it doesn't have to be an either/or thing.

I'm having an issue where sometimes I'll hold down the left flipper to set it up for a super skill shot, but it doesn't work. It works most of the time, yet sometimes doesn't. Is this a known issue? Any fix?

If Stern was smart, they would rerun the topper. Heck, charge $1K. If there's any topper that's worth that price point, it's that one.

If I had to guess, original owner used the balls from Stern that came with the game. Those balls tend to be complete shit. He probably never changed them, even after ton of play, and they tore that plastic up, along with some of the clear on the playfield.

Sounds like the game is now in better hands.

I'd love a mod to replace this stupid plastic that broke off....

I appreciate the modding suggestions, thanks everyone.

Whenever an official modder makes one, you've got my money.

Jesder, you're the man! That's an awesome compilation and should make their job easier.

One thing that annoys me about the game is how you're pretty much punished for completing the WAR lanes. When doing so, you're somewhat locked into hitting really hard shots. I do my best to NOT spell WAR, unless I'm in a multiball, but that seems stupid. I'm on the PRO, so maybe it's different in the other versions, but it's just not worth lighting that unless I'm in a mutliball, if I'm trying to make my way through the game.

100% also agree that Jackpots in Triple Knights Challenge should be worth more. As it stands, multiball is really just a tool to get through modes, not a reward in and of itself.

It's funny: you can say this game didn't sell well, and therefore doesn't deserve a ton of attention. But also, if the rules are not great, that leads to a game being less desirable. You really have a horse/cart scenario going on here...

Just beat the game and made the Black Knight my bitch (Pro version, stock settings).

Spoiler alert: The Rage multiball/Wizard Mode that follows is terrible. Seriously, zero effort was put into it. I'd say more, but I don't want to ruin the disappointment for anyone to experience first hand.

Wish I had it filmed, but no such luck. And thank you.

The trick was putting in the Insider Connected. I felt motivated to get through the game, in a way that I never was before.

Yep, it just works.

Now though, it needs more, it's super basic. I know more is coming, but it's been awhile since this was released, and impatience is kicking in.
