Videocart-21: Bowling
Description official descriptions
The object of the game is to knock down as many pins in 10 frames of bowling. The game gives the player an overhead view of a bowling lane. The player's bowling ball starts out moving left and right across the front of the lane. This has the player trying to get the lane position they want the ball to start traveling down. Once the ball starts rolling down the lane, the player can curve the ball left or right. Once the curve has started, it can't be changed further.
The game has 18 variations. They involve choosing the combination of number of players (1 or 2), then speed of play (slow, normal, fast, and fastest), and selecting a regular or split game. Regular games start with all pins standing in each frame while the split games have a random number of pins missing and the player has 2 balls to knock down the remaining ones.

Basic Bowling but decently executed
The Good
The Graphics are clear and the ball rolling back to you is a nice touch. The controls are easy to get a hold of but it's still had to get those strikes. Can see this being entertaining with another player.
The Bad
Could have done with a little more variety, the split games option is okay but not far enough.
The Bottom Line
A solid basic bowling game that doesn't do anything wrong but maybe doesn't push hard enough.
