One of the first pinballs to feature a dual-level playing field, Black Knight was ahead of its time. The upper playing field has two flippers, in addition to the two on the main (lower) field. This game also had a feature called "Magna Save" which, when lit, let the player save a ball which normally would have gone into the gutter. This game is also an early example of a multi-ball game.
A sequel to this game, Black Knight 2000, also sports the Magna Save device.
