Summary

Probably the best bowling game of the 1980s, 10th Frame Bowling is a fun bowling game for up to 8 players.Two gameplay modes are available: Open Bowling (a single match) or League Bowling (the complete league). League Bowling is where you compete in teams, with 4 members each.

Although the game looks quite primitive in CGA color, the graphics are crisp and the animations believably smooth. The interface is intuitive: similar to the common "golf meter" in golf games, you use the left and right arrow keys to choose the direction for the ball, and press the spacebar at the right moment to throw it. Simple, but flawlessly executed. If you enjoy bowling games, 10th Frame Bowling is a true pioneer in the genre you must have in your collection. If you are not a bowling fan, this may very well be the game that sparks your interest in the sport. Timelessly enduring and playable - a must-have.

This game plays well. It has an easy to use interface. Great looking graphics for it's time. I have so many good memories playing this and will be starting a league with my son and anyone else I can find to play. I am sure it doesn't have built in league utilities but that won't be a problem. I like how this game gives you the ability to move your bowler and your aiming thing allowing for more control and different ways to throw the ball from different spots on the lane. The sounds effects are nothing special but I am very thankful all you hear is bowling lane sound effects vs some of the goofy music that is put in bowling games these days.
