Kineticist’s take
Haggis Pinball announces Fathom Revisited remake with mixed reception on pricing and ruleset strategy.
Synopsis
Dennis and Tony discuss Haggis Pinball announcement of Fathom Revisited, a remake of the classic 1981 Bally pinball machine. The game comes in two versions: a Classic Edition ($7,360) and a limited Mermaid Edition ($8,900, 250 units) featuring LCD screens, RGB LEDs, enhanced rules 2.0, and new music/callouts. Hosts debate the high pricing relative to new Stern games, the value proposition of the 2.0 ruleset, and speculate on which of Haggis's five licensed Bally games from the early 80s era they might remake next.
