FH is actually an early WPC game, using alphanumeric so it often gets mistaken for a system 11.

But agreed, it's better than most system 11 games.

I'm following this with interest - I reckon a system 11 is needed in my collection.

I haven't played that many - probably not 3 in total.

never played a diner, Dr Dude, or Swords of fury.

I really enjoyed BK2000 the 1 time i played a dozen games!
Highspeed would be on my list for sure also.
Can't think of a 3rd  **)

Grand Lizard - never played it...Is it just Black Knight more or less???

yer bk2000 is a great pin, and as seen it seems to be the most popular of the sys11's.
 ive only played one once, and i liked it, the playfield lighting is certainly great.

here is another vid i found on youtube this time of a bk2000 in action.

have you played SOF??? what did you recon of that if you have? if you didnt like bk2000 im wondering if you like SOF or not.

Bk2000 didnt make it onto my top 3 only just as I just love the quirkyness of dr dude. and i saw a member here with a diner machine so it sparked my interest and managed to get a game whilest buying another pin, and got a game of that and would love that game in my shop

Not only is Black Knight 2000 one of the best system 11 games ever, its probably one of the best pinball machines ever made. Top 10 for sure.

It has one of the best light shows ever, one of the best audio shows ever, and the rule set and double level playfields make it a killer of a game.
Anyone who owns one usually never sells it.  Alot of people would love to have one of these.  A great game. Lots of fun and challenge.

bk2000 fans are certainly passionate about them, agree about the lights.

1.Dr Dude , best artwork , shot game and gawdiness for this era  !#%
2.Space Station , nice and fast with no inlanes to flippers makes you play the shot without holding and a great mode called CONDITION GREEN  @@*
3.Elvira ATPM , nice mip mips on Elvira and fantastic artwork , sound and gameplay  :D would love to play again very soon somewhere

not necessarily in that order either , just wish both mine were working ( 1 + 2 ) !   #(&
Always put your spectacles on when connecting to PCB and relay boards    !)#

The light show is awesome, as is the soundtrack (although it does get repetitive). I think its gameplay it not very good though, the only thing to shoot for on the lower playfield is to get the ball to the upper playfield. It's a cult game though, so will make a lot of top system 11 games lists because of its status due mostly to the music I think.

Nick, dont forget that the bottom playfield has 2 x sets of 3 drop targets (one each side) to shoot for AND >

Also BK2000 has a total of 5 different lanes (shots) on the bottom playfield to shoot for, which means there are 4 more shots/lanes to shoot for over and above the left lane shot which gets you to the top playfield. Of the other 4 lanes to shoot for, at least one other can get u to the top playfield, and the other 3 can award many points n bonuses, as well as give u a multiball etc. Thats a total of 5 different shots on the bottom playfield. One of the lanes has a diverter in it which either allows top playfield continuation or sends the ball back at you fast, very fast like the other 3 lanes. And the far right lane captures the ball and can allow the spinning wheel to give different awards or a multiball. Thats five different shots on the lower playfield, not just one !

The game is most definately not only about getting to the top playfield. Alot of people dont realise that until they have played the game and made all the different shots on the bottom playfield. The bottom playfield is extra extra FAST which makes alot of this easier said than done.

BK2000 is far ahead of its time and is still one of Steve Ritchies best designs ever, but as good if not better than alot of the 1990's DMD machines.

I reckon a brand new STERN design with a identical playfield and very very similar inserts/lightshow etc would be a cracker of a game. BK2000 hasnt aged a bit since 1989. They could have stuck a DMD with it and released it in 1999 and it would not have looked out of place at all.

out of interest cavey, why do you recon SOF gets compared to bk2000 all the time?? i hear it allot from either SOF or Bk2000 fans im not asking which one is better im wondering why these two are compared to each other.


its also interesting that dr dude is mentioned as much as it has been in the this thread, I love dr dude and thought it was a little known title but seems prety popular out of the system11's, im starting tobeome a fan boy of system 11's since getting into pinball, might be because of the era is close to when i was a kid and the themes and style is what i am more used to from seeing as a kid.

highspeed has got a fair mention i havent played high speed so i cant comment on it wil llook it up on youtube however and will try and get a go at one hopefully soon.

Hi mate, SOF is compared alot because of the artwork of the game. although they play n feel very differently,  the artwork is very nice and those 2 x machines (BK2000 and SOF) also look great together. ALSO being same system 11 means they were built near each other time wise etc either.
People often like both games because they were alot modern looking for the year they were built. Both really good players.

Dr Dude is bright n colourful and a positive/fun machine. Again, a fun game. ALOT of the system 11 games were built when pinball was just about to boom and people had just started to add alot to these games and really push the envelope.
You cant go wrong collecting system 11 games thats for sure.
