Zip

Zip, produced by Genco Manufacturing Company in November 1938, is a flipperless single-player EM pinball machine. As a flipperless game, gameplay relies on skillful plunging and tilt management to route the ball, in keeping with EM machines of the pre-flipper era.

The machine features 5 balls per play and 4 passive bumpers, a modest but functional feature set typical of late-1930s EM design. Zip's gameplay is characterized by simplicity, with no discernible theme or storyline documented for this machine.

Zip's design and art reflect the minimalist aesthetic common to many EM machines of its period, with clean lines and a straightforward layout. Despite its age and relative obscurity, Zip remains an interesting piece for pinball enthusiasts due to its representation of Genco's late-1930s output.
