Here’s some exciting news, the Australian manufacturer Haggis Pinball just announced that it has begun manufacturing its second title…a licensed remake of the beautiful classic Bally machine, Fathom. I can’t wait to see someone stream the new code! Here’s the company’s statement on Facebook: “Fathom(TM) Revisited is Now in Manufacturing. All customers should have received an email from us. If you haven't please check the usual email junk folders and send us a note via sales@haggispinball.com Dive Again !!” Below is a copy of the letter that the company sent to people who have placed orders for the game, courtesy of MR86 on Pinside and a few pictures of this beautiful machine. In my opinion, Fathom is one of the most beautiful games ever made. I even have a Greg Freres autographed Fathom print hanging in my basement arcade / bar.
