This game was a widebody pinball game with several unique twists. Among them, was an old fashionedrevolver , 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. Also included on the soundtrack is theUse Your Illusion outtake "Ain't Going Down", which is the only official release of the song. The backdrop was illuminated with lights in the shape of the famous Guns N' Roses seal, andAxl Rose 'stattoo s, featured in theAppetite 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 ofThe Addams Family ,Jurassic Park , orTommy .No longer in production, this machine is now a hot item on online
