Favorite Magna-Save Game?

Favorite Magna-Save Game of the original 4?

What is your favorite Manga-Save game and why? Here are your choices:

Black Knight
Jungle Lord
Pharaoh
Solar Fire

Let's leave it at that because BK2K would be a landslide winner otherwise.

My vote goes to Solar Fire (can't wait for the repro backglass!!). Easily one of the best System 7 games and definitely the best of the 2-level Magna-Save games (IMO). Great sound. Lots of stuff to shoot at. Cool art. Just awesome.

EDIT: Changed it to first 4 only

WCS

but of the list you mention I prefer Pharaoh. Just love that upper playfield.
Also haven't played the rest enough in comparison.

WCS

Agreed.
Not all of us have 100 pins Lindsey - me thinks the question should simply be, "what's your favorite magna save game"

The sad thing is I only played two of those on Lindsey's list (BK and Grand Lizard.)

Doesn't TOTAN have a pretty cool one and Sega's Goldeneye???

There are lots of games with magnets to save the ball, but TOTAN is not one of them. It uses little wire cages that pop up from the bottom of the playfield to trap the ball. Cool feature if it works right, but then so is Magna Save

Anyway, back to the task at hand...I'd love to say Black Knight as I have owned 5 of them, but since BK2K is not on the list I'd have to go with Solar Fire. A game you dont see much. like Black Knight, but very different. Would love to get one some day.

Yeah... but that's NOT the question

It's not fair to compare WCS or BK2K to these old classics.

EDIT: I Changed the rules after the game started.

I choose Pharaoh based on the theme and back glass art alone, though I wish he wasn't smiling. I would give second place to Jungle Lord, just because I was a huge Tarzan fan as a kid. Black Knight is like Kiss, Iconic as hell, but is it really that much fun? I had the mini electronic handheld version of the game.
