Star Trip

Star Trip, designed by Ed Cebula and manufactured by Game Plan in April 1979, is a solid-state electronic cocktail-table pinball machine from the company's early years. Game Plan itself was founded in 1977, and Star Trip came from the company's first wave of cocktail-style tables, sharing its playfield design with Game Plan's own 'Family Fun!' from the same year. With its dual-flipper design and array of targets, including four star rollovers and three drop targets with individual reset coils, Star Trip presents a challenging and rewarding gameplay experience.

What sets Star Trip apart is its feature set for a cocktail cabinet: the inclusion of slingshots, a kick-out hole, and a spinning target adds an extra layer of complexity to the game, while the dual inlanes allow players to strategize their shots with precision. The machine's electronic sound effects and knocker complement the outer space theme.

The design and art on Star Trip are characteristic of late 1970s pinball aesthetics. While there is limited information available about this specific machine, it remains a notable example of Game Plan's cocktail-table lineup during the early solid-state era of pinball design.
