Today is an exciting day, at least for a friend of mine in Australia. Alex Moss reached out to me a little while ago and shared pictures of the first ever unboxing of Haggis Pinball's new Fathom Revisited Mermaid Edition pinball machine. The game looks amazing. Here's a few pics from the unboxing of the game. Alex took video as well that he hopes to be able to share with everyone this weekend. I love seeing new Fathoms being made. There's always been something about any pinball machine with an underwater / ocean theme that I've absolutely loved. I even have a print of the Fathom backglass autographed by Greg Freres hanging in my basement arcade. I can't wait to see Fathoms here in the United States. New York City's Jackbar has one on order. I'm headed there as soon as theirs arrives.
