Guns N' Roses was a pinball machine based on the rock group Guns N' Roses. The artwork featured photos by Robert John from his book Guns N' Roses: The Photographic History. This game was a widebody pinball game with several unique twists. Among them, was an old fashioned revolver, which players used to start the game as opposed to the typical plunger. When a quarter was inserted, the band's famous "Welcome to the Jungle" song (recorded from a concert) would play. The backdrop was illuminated with lights in the shape of the famous Guns N' Roses seal, and Axl Rose's tattoos, featured in the Appetite for Destruction album artwork. If a player was to bonus and activate multi-ball play, the player would then use the plunger on the left side (shaped like a rose) to launch another ball. Two large ramps in the shapes of a "G" and "R" were also featured. The game play is a mode-based game not unlike that of The Addams Family, Jurassic Park, or Tommy.
No longer in production, this machine is now a hot item on online auction sites and second hand arcade stores. This is one of the most popular pinball machines from Data East. The machine was spotted in the movie My Teacher's Wife.
