Any tips on improving the amount of strikes? I can't seem to get more than one per game. I have been able to get a strike from launching the ball with the guy standing on the right-lower gutter as show in the final score pics. just have to curve the ball much sooner. I tried all kinds of stuff , counting the number of click to the center, holding a ruler across the screen to line things up .... I also discovered you can't get the ball to zag after a zig Justin, Gianna, Dinobot711 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari 5200 Guy Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 I'm trying to locate a cartridge of Bowling. I'd like to play this one on actual hardware. Nice scores so far. And, yep, I'm feeling someone is going to get a 300 or come very close. Sabertooth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same ROM, same game, Southeast Asian bootlegs that were intercepted and turned over to Atari. Usually IP owners have seized counterfeits destroyed once they've been handed over from the authorities, in this case Jack Tramiel decided to declare them "open box specials" and sell them off at fire sale prices, because "business is war".

Many times you can repair them by cleaning or replace the rubber stick. Interestingly enough the stick is just a tire stem (the part that sticks out of your car tire to inflate it). You can pick one up any auto store. Sometimes the contact wears out. Edited January 18, 2022 by AtariSphinx Justin, chas10e and RickR 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
