Very nice early effort at creating an early ST bowling game. It's very "8bitty", but nice. Great digitized sound and music accompany the basic game play. Not as much lasting appeal as you want from a bowling game. It could use some tournaments and leagues.

If i remember right original game is dongle-protected.
