Here's something you don't see every day, PSE's Knights in Armor from 1976.


If anyone has a Midway Wheels/Racer control panel, LMK. I could use the shifter off it to complete the Black Knight shield control.

Very cool to see something like this running again. Got a good pic of the full cab? Wish more folks cared about games like this around here.



good day.

People who like b&w games are a small group for sure, but it's for hardcore collectors interested in the evolution of early videogame history. I just try to spread the good word, and connect with those who are into them.

The cab is rather tiny and has no side art. Here are some pics.

I'm one of those people ! I love the black & white stuff ! I also love EM's.

I've never seen one of these and let me tell you, that short video
put a big smile on my face that will last all day.

Cool stuff!

Looks like the monitor needs a recapping, do you plan on doing that? If so post another video after it's done!

Yeah, I plan on capping the whole thing, and my buddy Andrew Welburn is going to dump the PROMs. I just wanted to put up a quick vid. Will follow-up with a more complete video for sure.
 
That Looks really cool. Looks like it's in nice shape as well.

It never came with sideart in the first place, so besides some dirt on the cab and chipping on the bottom it's really nice.

Means a lot coming from you, JD. We met last summer when you were working down the shore. I'll be sure to re-introduce myself again this summer the one weekend when I come down.

Wow, I thought I knew my rare/unusual games. Never even heard of this before, let alone actually see one.

Give us the back story, where was it found, how did you end up with it?

Does it have ROMs? I don't see it in MAME.

Cool stuff!

Thanks Joe. You know your rarities for sure, so it says something about how obscure this title is.

There are a couple of ROMs that are gonna get dumped. It's a TTL game, so it'll be emulated in DICE? Unsure.

There's not much to tell regarding the backstory. I bought it off a collector in Kansas City. It was found in hoard of other games. He posted it with a list of other b/w title in my Bronze Age Facebook group. He was somewhat reluctant to sell it, but ultimately agreed to. Real good guy to deal with. KiA has been on my VAPS want list for a long time. Amazed that one turned up.

Now, I just need to find a Game Tree! Anyone have a lead?
