Notes:
The manufacturer advertised this game as the one word "Zipper" even though the playfield also displays the word "Skill" directly underneath.

IPD No. 5702
A counter Top game, measuring 18'' T x 12'' W x 9'', Binks Whiz Bowler was made in 1954 by a former game designer at Chicago Coin. Since the game is 10 balls for a penny, rather than up to 22 balls in actual bowling, the scoring is slightly...
The Missile
Old style pachinkos have a hole to manually load the balls in the blue square. Then it plays with a manual launcher.
On new style pachinkos, the player loads the balls into the machine and then an adjustable auto-launcher fires them.
For added fun, the VP version offers both...
Updated for VP9 by tiltjlp.
The changes made for this update are based on Rawd's own experience with owning a pachinko. Besides removing pins for better ball flow, nudging has been removed. The number of balls auto-launched have been increased to 100, and the auto-launch speed has been...

Want to play basketball at work?
Dont be afraid by your manager. Just press 9 and the game launches Excel before he comes. Then quit excel and continue to play. Have fun.
The first pinball that hides himself and launches Excel!
By Patrick
This is a fun, cleverly-made, two-player table-soccer game! I.e., "foosball" for American audiences.
Note: you might want to go in to the script to reconfigure the keys to your liking. (text by @Ike Savage)

Starlight
By tiltjlp for VP9.
StarLight is a home sale bagatelle made by the Durable Toy & Novelty Corp. of New York City. It measures 23" x 14 1/4" and was probably made in the 1950-60s. It is fairly unusual in that it is a looping bagatelle.
There were very few home-sale looping bagatelles...

This game used a bingo card and trap holes but was not a 'Bingo' or in-line machine in the traditional sense.
As this is a 5-ball game, the highest score that can be achieved would be by landing them in the five holes...

Scramball, 1958 by Keeney for Visual Pinball 9. Totally updated and runs like the real thing. You can press the button to release the balls at ANYTIME. A VERY BASIC machine and game. Fully updated from VP6. Special thanx to Grizz for the left side PF fixes.
Cleaned up EM reel, fixed EM reel, added save credits to EM reel, added purge/delete credits on EM reel, fixed the "skill control flipper" to the proper location on the left side of the screen.
Have fun!
Zipper Skill, 195? by Binks Industries for Visual Pinball 9!
Cleaned up a lot of background stuff. Plays just as beautifully as it did in VP6!
5 Ball countertop skill machine. Try to get 5 balls in a line.
Bryans "Four Square" Allwin Machine and Ruffler/Walker Earth Satellite, both 1950's.
Two Allwin machines on the same screen. Can play separately or both at once. Updated the plunger release speed and fixed various playfield problems.
Enjoy.
A classic style pachinko with both Auto Launch and standard Manual Launch options. Without a lot of patient help from Rawd, this update would never have been completed as accurately as it has been.
