Queen

With over 300 million albums sold worldwide, the iconic British rock band Queen are one of the biggest bands ever. Formed in London in 1971, Queen have released 15 studio albums, toured extensively, and produced innovative film, video and theatre shows for over 5 decades and they continue to pull in the crowds around the world.

The Queen pinball machine (sometimes referred to as "Queen - Live In Concert") was officially announced by Pinball Brothers on 21 July 2022. This table focuses on the band's iconic live performances, specifically featuring footage from their Budapest 1986 and Montreal 1987 concerts on an 18.5-inch LCD screen.

The game features 14 live songs accompanied by call outs by the band, exclusively recorded for the game. The live songs included are: A Kind Of Magic, Another One Bites The Dust, Bohemian Rhapsody, Hammer To Fall, I Want To Break Free, Killer Queen, One Vision, Play The Game, Radio Ga Ga, Seven Seas Of Rhye, Somebody To Love, We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions and Who Wants To Live Forever.

Featured also is Brian May’s legendary Red Special guitar, in the shape of an upper playfield where you can lock balls to start the Red Special multiball. Or you can visit the epic Wembley Stadium to lock balls to start yet another of the game’s many multiballs. Keep an eye on the Radio – it might help you time your flips! Collect autographs, instruments, band members, tour passes and posters on your way to eventually reaching the final wizard mode, “I Want it All!”

The machine was released in two distinct versions:

• Limited Rhapsody Edition: Limited to 1,000 units, and released in September 2022 for $10,995. It features exclusive golden artwork, a sparkling shooter rod, powder-coated golden metal trim, and a shaker motor.

• Champions Edition: The standard version, which became available in the first quarter of 2023 for $9,295 per machine. It features orange-themed artwork but maintains the same playfield and software features as the Limited Edition.

A homebrew tribute to the table was released for Visual Pinball X by marty02. It features a very similar playfield, but with a different tracklist of songs.
