Bowling Alley is a ten-pin bowling game. You play ten frames against the computer, taking turns, and the higher score wins. Scoring is the real thing: a strike is 10 plus your next two balls, and a spare is 10 plus your next ball.

Aim down the lane, set the spin and pull the power bar. The ball hooks late, and a falling pin knocks into its neighbours, so a good ball can sweep the rack. There are five levels, from Rookie to Champion, and the computer throws better on each one.
