Quoted from Yoko2una:

Haggis? As in that gross Scottish pudding that may or may not still be illegal to serve in the US?

That’s the one

Had the pleasure of playing CELTS at Flipout 2019 this weekend, and, WOW, it blew us away. The build quality is phenomenal (felt solid, like an LE machine), the art package suits the theme (looks wonderful / colourful in person), the audio & video are in keeping with immersing you in the theme (who doesn’t like bagpipes!) & most importantly the gameplay & shots were right on the money - shots feel satisfying! The upper playfield is a great addition in providing variety to the game (nudging the ball up there gave us a buzz). Oh yeah, the price was also mind blowing - extremely fair and reasonable, starting from AUD$7,050. Can’t wait to see / play the finished product - it will only get better. Haggis Pinball should be proud, well done.

Quoted from gliebig:

Any pics of the middle playfield around the stand ups with the glass off? It's hard to make anything out with the glare.

Couldn’t upload the vid direct, but you can check it out here (Twitter): https://twitter.com/ausretrogamer/status/1188744959001653249?s=20

Quoted from cait001:

There's an upper playfield?
I would love to see detailed photos of the game without the glass on so I can get a better idea of the playfield. I can't watch any of the videos here.

source pic: https://www.pinballnews.com/site/2019/10/17/pinball-expo-2019-3/

Just a clarification - it is a single level playfield with a (third) flipper in the upper area (sorry for any confusion caused).

Quoted from Manny65:

There's a sourcer (VUK) at the boar, the horseshoe loop has a switch (under the Caber Toss sign) and there are standup targets on either side of the horseshoe entrances (ie 4 in total). Some of the modes like battling a clan require hitting the horseshoe (awards points to your clan) but avoiding the standups (awards points to the opposition clan) and it's the first to a certain number of points. So accurate shooting is key to progress through the modes.

Thanks Manny65 - much better explanation than I could’ve done. Really enjoyed this at Flipout 2019.

Quoted from punkin:

Keep asking on fb, but does anyone know if they are sending a machine to Pinfest this month? I may be in the market, but haven't played one.

You could ask HaggisPinball

Quoted from oldskool1969:

Team Haggis Pinball YEEEEEEEEEW[quoted image]

Clan Haggis! I was super impressed with the packaging too.

#115 3 years ago

As Clan Haggis members, we’ll know their next game/theme in early 2021. Wraith is still on the cards, but don’t think it’ll be next.

So proud of @haggispinball. Up against a global pandemic they’ve been able to iterate and make their first machine as good as it can be. To see them ship their first in box machine was a great achievement. Excited for game 2, no matter what it is!

#149 2 years ago

the Clan Haggis members will find out the new title this week! Excited!!!

Quoted from dung:

Welp, I realize all the focus on Fathom, but I went all in on Celts. Need to figure out which powdercoat to use, but haven't seen pics to get an idea of the differences.

Having seen Grurple in person, the shimmering & change of colour (metallic deep purple to green-ish) depending on the angle of view is something else.
These pics don’t do it justice, it looks amazing in real life.
Wish more people get to play Celts, it’s a darn solid & good fun game.

I’ll be reaching out to Damian in the next few weeks for a follow up interview, this time concentrating on their move to their new premises, production plans and of course their new and future pinball machines. As you can imagine, they are quite busy right now (which is a good thing).

For those that missed our first interview with Damian, you can check it out here (sorry, this is a written interview and not a podcast )

Have sent through the interview questions to Damian. I don't expect him to commit (to answering them) just as yet, as these last few days (of Fathom Revisited order banks closing) will be full on for him/his team. Oh yeah, I also asked if I/we could tour the new facility

27 year old Quarter Pounder! These Haggis peeps are full of surprises!

#206 2 years ago

Shopping in style. This bag always gets conversations started on the way & back from the supermarket. Most people are pleasantly surprised that there is an Australian pinball manufacturer.

Quoted from oldskool1969:

Watching ALL the videos for Haggis over the years and I am getting super stoked for my Celts.
Not too many sleeps left till she’s at home.

I’m jelly (in a good way). I still reckon Celts is a sleeper title. Looks beautiful, sounds great & plays darn well. Oh yeah, you got it personalised too! You are in for a treat.

Few little hiccups, but she is in and getting thrashed
[quoted image]

It truly is a beautiful machine! Hope the hiccups weren’t anything major.

#249 2 years ago

Love the CELTS DOLBY! I mean this is truly a limited edition machine to the true sense of the word! The whole package just pops!
PS: Glad to hear the hiccups are easy fixes!.
PPS: Celts is still on my wishlist - still thinking about the time i enjoyed the heck out of it at Flipout 2019!
