The only question… which songs? They have too many amazing songs to have them all in one game!!
Assuming 10 songs:
- Dancing Queen
- Mamma Mia
- Take a Chance on me
- Winner takes it all
- Super Trouper
- Fernando
- Waterloo
- Lay all your love on me
- Knowing me knowing you
- SOS
Hopefully can get 20 or more though. Rush has 16
Better save Elton money for Abba, PB's Abba will cost way less than JJP:s Elton and music-wise both are equals to me! Hopefully there will be some cool mechanism included - regarding their earlier pins, Alien eating the ball was nice, Queen did not have that kind of interesting mech at all I think.
I think this is a darkhorse MASSIVE seller. Mamma Mia remains an insane touring musical. Locations will kill with this title (assuming it's good!)
My favorites are:
The Visitors
Does Your Mother Know
Money, Money, Money
Angel Eyes
Head Over Heels
Gimme! Gimmie! Gimmie!
Waterloo
But I love a lot of ABBA songs, and have a few of their records on vinyl (though not as much a fan of Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia, etc. vein).

Queen was a disappointment to my wife, kids, and myself. Hopefully they do a better job. My family and I love ABBA but I hate mamma Mia.

Did you own a Queen?
Quoted from Stuieb84:This is a great theme, i only wish JJP was doing it. This game needs lots of glitter and lights
I partially agree with you because they definitely could use a lot glitter and lights, but I don’t want the JJP price tag.
Just in case anyone is wondering what’s going on here

You forgot Xanadu..
Im not sure I could handle the Music today.....in the 70s, I had a crush on Agnetha. Where did the time go?
Wizard mode - you are the dancing Queen?!
It is a good title if done properly, as ABBA are still super popular.

He has got to be paying for keeping time with those platform shoes like that in his current days.
Although this would appeal to a broader market due to the music, I still can't wrap my brain around these three words...
ABBA Pinball Machine...
I mean, like, seriously, WTF!?!?
If I were to walk past one casually at a barcade, not only would I be looking for the wormhole that just transported me back to 1979, I would seriously wonder if all that acid had finally caught up with me... because only a serious acid flashback is going to ever explain why an Abba pinball machine even exists in the first place...

This is how I felt about WoZ before I played one
Quoted from chad:You forgot Xanadu..
Xanadu is Olivia Newton-John + Electric Light Orchestra.

I don’t think they’d stash that popular of a song/ mode away for only wizard mode it would be something you could select at game start.

I think they will go with ABBA Gold.
First Addams family Gold...

JJP just made Elton John.
ABBA are one of the best selling artists of all time.

Great family theme.
If you want a WTF moment, go visit the BBQ pinball machine
Quoted from Luckydogg420:I wonder what was the last disco pinball machine that was made? I just did a quick search for “disco”, but are there other games with a disco theme, or music?
[quoted image]
Abba really isn't disco.
Their songs don't have the 4 on the floor beat, which was the lifeblood of all we think of as "disco."
It's just extremely glossy pop.
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:Im not sure I could handle the Music today.....in the 70s, I had a crush on Agnetha. Where did the time go?
ABBA and THIS SONG in particular gets played every day at nearly every generic corporate store in America.
ABBA is about as mainstream and successful as it gets. Europe will lose their mind, for sure.

I think the movies vitalised the band/songs.

Way better than "BBQ Pinball Machine"
Quoted from LTG:Miss Saigon has a helicopter on stage. Maybe it's a Miss Saigon pin. Bring some culture to pinball.
LTG : )

The amount of FB bozo's who are convinced its M.A.S.H is pretty funny
Haynes Repair Manual pinball FTW!
If BBQ pinball does well, can we expect the follow-ups to be Potato Salad pinball and/or Peach Cobbler pinball?
Quoted from BeachPickle:Serious haynes repair manual vibes from that flyer...
[quoted image][quoted image]
Suddenly I care less about an Abba pin.
Quoted from acedanger:ABBA & Hype should never go together!!
Better than another rock pin.
