''Guns N' Roses'' is a {{Licensed Pinball Table|s}} released in 1994 by Creator/DataEast, one of only two widebody pins the company created[[note]]''Pinball/WWFRoyalRumble'' is the other[[/note]] and their only one with two plungers.
The objective of the game is to gather up the members of the [[Music/GunsNRoses world-famous band]], get them rockin', and whip the crowd into a nonstop frenzy. Ride a motorcycle with Gilby Clarke, start multiball with Axl Rose, and bring in Matt Sorum to Score. Rock out with Dizzy Reed, grab a Jackpot with Duff [=McKagan=], get all the band members on stage for Multiball, then cut into a wicked Slash Solo. When you've completed all of the Guitar Modes, start a Riot and play the table to build up the Jackpot. All of this is, of course, accompanied by nine of the band's songs, including the exclusive "Ain't Going Down" (an outtake from ''Music/UseYourIllusion'').
The game was [[SelfAdaptation originally conceived by Slash]], who approached Data East with his initial table design ideas. There, he was paired with music fan Creator/JohnBorg, programmer Lyman Sheats, and artist Markus Rothkranz. While the end result was generally well-regarded, it sold a relatively paltry 3,000 units. As a result, the ones available today fetch high prices, sought after by both music fans and pinball collectors.
In 2020, Creator/JerseyJackPinball released another game based on the band (with Slash again being a key part of its design). Tropes for that game go on [[Pinball/GunsNRosesJerseyJack its own page]].

!!The ''Guns N' Roses'' pinball machine demonstrates the following tropes:
%%* EightiesHair
%%* AlwaysNight
* CallAHitPointASmeerp: A mild example; the game modes are "Guitar Modes".
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The "G" and "R" ramps, which are plastic ramps shaped like the letters G and R.
* FanserviceExtra: The playfield is littered with various bikini-clad female groupies.
* GodivaHair: One of the groupies on the playfield covers her breasts with her hair, having lost her top.
%%* NiceHat: Slash's iconic top hat.
%%* RandomDrop: The Mystery Value, available as a launch award or after shooting the mini-loop a number of times.
* ScoreMultiplier: The scoring on most modes can be doubled by shooting the mini-loop below the Guitar Mode saucer immediately after it kicks the ball out.
* SpellingBonus: J-A-M increases the bonus multipliers, S-N-A-K-E enables the left-hand Rose plunger, D-U-F-F collects the Duff Jackpot, R-O-C-K starts the Rock Hurry-Up, and G-U-N-S-N-R-O-S-E-S starts a countdown bonus mode. Similar to the WizardMode of ''Pinball/TheWhosTommy'', the player must collect letters of R-I-O-T by hitting switches to light the Riot Jackpot.
* VideoMode: "Gilby Rides", where Gilby Clarke rides his motorcycle down a three-lane road, and the player steers him to hit pedestrians and avoid cars.
* VisualPun: The game's left plunger is shaped like a blooming rose, while the right plunger is a pistol gun grip. In other word, a gun and a rose.
* WizardMode: "Riot", a six-ball multiball available after completing all of the Guitar Modes. Keep the balls in play as long as possible, trying to hit as many targets and switches to spell RIOT, earning more points for each letter achieved. After RIOT is spelled, the mini-loop is lit for the RIOT Jackpot, worth one billion points.
