Here's a fun way to start off the day. A little while ago, the Austrian pinball distributor RS-Pinball shared pictures of a load of Haggis Pinball's Fathom Revisited Mermaid Edition pinball machines headed off to Europe. Haggis continues to steadily churn out games. Are they producing them more slowly than they forecast previously and anxiously awaiting customers would like? Of course, but I think that it's important to show that the Company is still getting games out the door fairly consistently. I'm rooting for them to hit their recently stated objective of finishing up the run of Fathom Revisited machines before the end of the year.
