Agree there. BK2K is a gorgeous borefest, in my opinion. Oh, I drained to the lower pf, shoot back up top, repeat. It hits on all factors except fun.

I kinda like the cheese. "Let's have a brew and talk". LOL

You happen to film this one, Nick? I'd be interested to see it. Congrats on beating it. This one is an ass kicker.

The pro is an ass kicker. Premium is too easy. I haven't put many games on the new code, though.

I would have to think that there are, or at least were, plans to add another stackable multiball to the pro. The game uses 6 balls, but as far as I'm aware, you can only ever have 4 in play at once, on the pro, currently. Hopefully, we will get a nice fat update later, like with GB and GOT. Maybe we aren't whining loud enough lol.

And I'll provide the beverages.

Looking forward to The Great Lakes Open next month.

I just played a Maiden Pro after my friend put his Stern IC kit in it. So, now the Pro has "Can I Play with Madness" mode like the Premium/LE, but it is only available if the game is connected to IC. I'm not sure if you have to be logged into IC to get it, but we were and it is there. I immediately went to the code readme and sure enough that feature was added with the IC update and is contingent upon the game being registered and online.

That got me thinking, we may see something like catapult multiball coming to BKSOR, as an IC bonus feature.

I haven't looked myself, but I would bet there is an exploded view in the manual. You can grab that from Stern's site under support section, I believe.

Anyone know if the LE cabinet art is available as a file somewhere? I wanted to make a customer insider connected instruction card and the Knight pointing his sword while on the horse would be perfect. Can't find any straight on shots to use, so far. Premium cab side would work too, but again, can't find any good files/pics.

Been playing with the Stern alt soundtrack. I really dig it. Makes the game feel like you're on a quest more than the metal soundtrack does. Got to the Black Castle the other night, but didn't beat the Black Knight. I hit the 3 lit shots and drained on the 3rd, as the whole playfield lit up purple to do more damage to him, I assume. The insider connected gave me the achievement for defeating the knight, even though I don't think I did. Had only been to the knight once before, on a non insider connected game and did not get very far, then, either....one more game.

Just found what I think may be a bug.

Logged into IC in case it matters.

Chose the Ransom Challenge mode.

Played the mode to completion with like 46 mil.

Expected to get the enter initials screen since it was the highest I've done the few times I've played it.

The game went into regular game mode with my 46 mil already there and was in ball 2.

I went ahead and played the game out to see what would happen.

Ended up at 226 mil or so and the game awarded me Ransom Champion with the full game score, not my 46.

Pretty sure that's a bug. Not sure if it has been reported.

I'm on a pro, as well. I'll report it. Haven't tried to reproduce it, yet.

Played Ransom Challenge Mode a few more times and have not encountered this again, yet.

Is there a plastic protector available for the super skinny fragile plastic that wraps around the right side shield VUK? I can see that snapping at some point. I don't see it in any of the sets folks are selling. I use clear lexan washers for slings and stuff, but would buy a custom cut piece for that VUK plastic.

Mine is good, so far. This game has almost 6000 plays on it and looks fantastic. I'll be installing my Cliffy saucer protectors soon. Waiting for my Nov Sword to arrive since I'll be working in that area and don't wanna dismantle the game multiple times. While I'm on the right saucer side, I'll see if there's any room for something or maybe trace that plastic and send to Cliff to see if he can make a metal protector. I don't think that plastic lights up, right?

That's what happened to me. I wasn't sure if I actually beat him or not since it seemed like there was more happening and I did not reach RAGE wizard mode.

Mine seems that way as well. Giving the cab a smack as it is on that right rail helps it to the flipper. My game is steep and level.

I would imagine that makes for a nicer right hand return, rather than SDTM, lol.

I have. On the Pro. Left the club last weekend. Traded for a Rush Pro to try and beat that one, now.

For any Pro owners that wanna get the NOV Sword Ramp mod developed by user November, I have mine available for sale. The person that I traded the machine to did not want the mod, so shoot me a PM if interested. I'm not sure if Romain is still making them, but I know I had to wait months and months for this and it's available now.

Yeah, I've seen it reported in a few threads across multiple games, for sure. No issues with my Rush Pro, so far, but I don't have it on for long periods of time.

I had a pro for a brief time and after day 1, I set the game to use the alternate soundtrack. It is very good. Questing music is what I'd call it. I'd give that a try before selling. I traded mine out after I beat the game. It was my rotator spot and you can't keep em all

I had the game a couple months.

Those are from the never to be released Predator pin. Or if they aren't, they were inspired by them.
