Black Rose (L-4)

Pinball published 32 years ago:

Black Rose (c) 1992 Midway Mfg. Co.

The basic idea of this pinball is to sink ships. The game features a rotating cannon situated underneath the playfield used to aim the ball at targets to award letters in the word SINK SHIP. During multiball you also get letters for shooting flashing ramps. Once SINK SHIP is spelled, you load the cannon to light the center shot (the 'Broadside') to get big points.

Sometimes when the ball is in the jet bumpers, you can spot cows fencing on the display.
Sometimes when the Unlimited Millions round is started, you see many small cows.
Sometimes when you manage to achieve a Combo Shot, cows walk across the screen, moo'ing.

The artist Pat McMahon created X-rated artwork for a version of backglass intended for an interested European market. The glass was never produced.
