Black Rose

Black Rose is a pinball machine created by John Trudeau and Brian Eddy, with artwork by Pat McMahon. It was released by Williams Electronics (under the “Bally” label) in 1992. Only 3,746 units were made, making it something of a rarity.

The game focuses on the title character, a female pirate captain who commands her crew of grizzled sea dogs. Your goal is to sink as many ships as you can by lighting S-I-N-K-S-H-I-P through various means, then fire a cannonball through the broadside at the far end of the table. Along the way, you’ll find the Pirate’s Cove, get a random award from Polly, and play no less than three Video Modes.
