Reception

Zero Zap is included in the 1984 book, The Best Texas Instruments Software: "Zero Zap is colorful, fast-paced, and has excellent sound."[5]

In a retrospective look at the game, Issue 1 of Classic Gamer Magazine wrote, "Moving on, we came across another lame Video-Pinball game. Zero Zap was for the TI-99/4A home computer.... Real pinball games, even the video-pinballs of the world are games of skill. Zero Zap is pure luck and utter garbage."[6]
