Joystick
1 or 2 Player
6 Game Variations


Bowling. 
ok...it's an 8 bit bowling game for the Atari 2600.  You play a guy bowling.  You are on the left, the pins are on the right and you throw the ball down the middle.  You move up and down to determine where in the lane you want to throw the ball.  There are three variations in the game, each of which has a 1 player and a 2 player option.  In one variation, you can throw a curve, in one you can steer the ball and one is just a straight throw.  The game makes these...um...sounds...when you throw a strike (a strike is when you knock down all of the pins).  It pretty much follows the rules of regular "Live Action" bowling...only there aren't little animated "friends" to get drunk, harass the women in the bowling alley and get you all thrown out. Although it would have made the game more interesting if that part of the "Live Action" bowling experience had been included in this game.  Needless to say, this game is easy to find cheap.  It's not the worst game that Atari put out, but I don't play this one very often.
