Here are the standings after week 4 of league! Remember at this point our standings now reflect your total points by dropping your two lowest weeks. This will continue through the end of the season so only your best 6 weeks count towards the final rankings. So missing a week or two will not impact you in anyway. Week 5 will be this Thursday at 8:30 PM like usual! See you all there!
It has been 9 months since we have had a tournament so we are going to attempt to do one this coming Sunday! The Halloween Hangover tournament will start at 4PM, it will be a 4-strike group knockout event. No entry fee or anything like that just bring your quarters for the machines. I suspect we will be done by 8 PM, feel free to come early and stay late. We may even have one more new machine joining the lineup before the event.
More information on Facebook event page if you need it, but otherwise just be at North End Pub by 4 PM when we start this Sunday to play!
Week 3 is tonight down at North End Pub! We have a brand new to us game in Black Knight: Sword of Rage Premium Edition, food and drinks available as always, and lots of fun casual competitive pinball. League play will start right around 8:30 but feel free to come early and stay late! See everyone tonight and expect more new games next week!
Every AEW Championship is on the line tonight starting at 8PM! Free Pinball all night as well! We just added Black Knight: Sword of Rage yesterday, have another new game coming Sunday, and two more next week! The leaves aren’t the only thing changing this time of year!
Don’t forget to wish Mr. and Mrs. Coghill happy birthday as they grace us with their presence then next couple nights down at North End Pub!
And lastly congratulations to Austin Hill on claiming his first NEP Championship victory! Don’t forget you too can earn a title shot this month by getting a high score on the any of the new machines we have added to the bar (Wheel of Fortune, Black Knight, coming soon….Spider-Man, Avengers, Radical!).
The Black Knight! A pinball villain dreamt up from the mind of Steve Ritchie one of pinballs greatest designers. The Black Knight, or BK as he is often referred to, began stealing quarters from players way back in 1980 when he first hit the floors of arcades. At the time the game was groundbreaking being the first game to market with a two level playfield and introduced Magna-Save features to the outlanes. With the classic medieval theme, great sounds, amazing light show, and addictive game play the Black Knight was a massively popular game.
After having stolen the quarters of unsuspecting kids for years and years he took a break, until the end of the decade when in 1989 he rode once more! Bringing what many consider some of the most iconic music in pinball to Black Knight 2000, or BK2K, again returning with many of the similar features of the original but just turned up a few more notches. The BK having squandered his previous riches returned to one again win your quarters, and that he did.
He was so succesful this time around that many thought we would never ever, ever hear from the Black Knight again as this time he couldn’t possibly go through that fortune he had stolen….But a Knights thirst for coins can never be quenched….and in 2019 the year of our lord he has reappeared in Black Knight: Sword of Rage! This game is fast, it’s furious, and most importantly it is FUN! The soundtrack comes from Scott Ian of Anthrax fame, the Black Knight himself is voiced by famed musician Ed Robertson of the Bare Naked Ladies, and it brings back the upper playfield, the magna save, the spinners, and most importantly you can finally defeat the Black Knight!
The Black Knight himself appears on top of the machine to talk trash to you as you play.
The game can be brutal, get used to back handing shots, trapping up and slowing down, working to stack your catapult and triple knight multiballs, and battling the monsters on your quest to take the Black Knight down at his castle!
Here is a great game played by Jack Danger of Dead Flip to give you a great idea of how to play the game.
