I did have the Black Rose on my wishlist for quite a while, purely because of its looks, theme, reviews and videos.
I have changed my mind about wanting to own one now after having played 2 of them recently at a show, don't get me wrong it Is a great game, but just not right for me long term.
Always good to play a machine for the first time, and then a few more times and make your own mind up.
One of the excellent examples I played on recently was lit with LED's, and looked damn good, absolutely beautifull.
Also one of them, I can't remember which, was using black pinballs. How cool they looked and fit the theme perfectly. I just found a site which sells them and lots more, many, many designs.
