Pinball machines as a whole are designed to attract. To get your coin.
No doubt like all things, some pins are built more equal than others and a recent night at a local pinball meet found me playing Bally's Fathom.
The first thing that struck me about this pin having never seen a Fathom before, was how beautiful it is just to look at. Standing back a ways and looking at the cab you have the green/blue of the cabinet but what really hits you is the vivid blues of the backglass. Starting grey at the top for the sky the blue deepens as you sink further in to the depths. A very striking backglass.
Looking next at the playfield and you find a similar color blend with grey tones at the top with deepening blue tones as you move towards the flippers. But all around the playfield is a mix of blues and greens that really suit the theme and give an overall stunning appearance. None other the colors are glaring or badly placed, they all seem to flow so smoothly with each-other.
I really did walk away thinking that Fathom was the most beautiful pin I had seen.
Whats some other pins you were struck with how beautiful a pin can be!
