« on: January 28, 2011, 09:54:58 PM »
I just found this video on you-tube of a Williams joust, this might be the sister to Black Knight?? Players play head to haed and keep exchanging balls... I have never seen one before. Would be an interesting game to play. One players game be a bit boring thoe  ::)

Super rare. Again, Williams were looking at a hybrid pinball / video to compete with the explosion of video games hitting the market.

I've never seen one (in the flesh) - but I'd like to play it someday !

I've always been fascinated by this game, would love to play one.

Pity they don't show the score on the other side of the table!

Does look interesting, but definitely novelty value over long-term playability by the look of it.

There is a partially populated playfield for sale in the US for $700 http://www.ssbilliards.com/sale.html,

Maybe Daniel could buy it and build a machine out of it like he has firepower ^^^ now that would be a challenge.

At the Ohio show two years ago they had 3 or 4 of them.  It really is a neat game to play, had more of a Defender pinball (another rare one) feel to it.  If recalled Alvin G. made two head to head games.  One a US football theme and the other a soccer them.  Those to were fun to play, I had the football one for about a year.
The ramp business was very very good to me.
