Well there you go PF. What an honest community you have here. I'd also like this game, from looks anyways.

How does this one play anyhow? Kinda looks along the same lines as Centaur to me. Is it fun? Is it challenging?

I REALLY enjoy playing Fathom, and I don't get too engrossed in rules etc. It's not too difficult - but there are some GREAT skillshots. There are two "capture" holes - one at the very top RH corner, and one on the RHS half way up. The latter is easy - hit the ball into the capture hole and the three targets pop up. You now have to hit the next ball into the other capture hole - top RH corner - via the middle flipper. A VERY hard shot, but when played - it flies into the hole and the three drop targets pop up. A third ball is served and you now have to knock down the 6 targets protecting the two captured balls. Once completed - you have 3 ball multiball. This usually does not last long as you start the process again. There are other ways of building your bonus - but it is great fun - especially attempting to release the top captured ball - as each time you knock down a target, the ball drops back into general play.

I rate Fathom higher than Centaur. Fathom has a cool ruleset that you don't really need to follow - if you like target games - this is the ultimate !
