6** ''Sword of Rage'' has three editions, as is common for Stern: the base Pro edition, the Premium edition (featuring a transluscent upper playfield and different backglass art), and the Limited edition (a limited run featuring a mirrored backglass and a shaker motor).

10* DuelingGames: With Creator/{{Bally}}'s ''Pinball/FlashGordon''.
11* SimilarlyNamedWorks: The movie and the pinball game are completely unrelated.
12* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In a DOS version of ''[[Pinball/EightBall Eight Ball Deluxe]]'' (likely a separate build), a picture of the Black Knight was shown in the room, in place of Royal Flush, and [[Pinball/FunHouse1990 Rudy]] is nowhere to be seen.[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gmnXriU5I4]] Regardless of which game Amtex was planning, those plans fell through when they went bankrupt, and both games eventually made it onto ''VideoGame/ThePinballArcade'', with Black Knight first appearing on the ''Williams Collection'' prior to that.
