This is an imperfect but decent simulator of the classic tenpins game.

You pick your player, ball, stance and technical things like that. Once you're all set, it's off to the lane.

This is no bumper bowl either: you actually have to think and plan every move. For the first several times I played, I was surprised by the difficulty on offer. It really does take some doing to get the hang of foot placement, throw speed and the many other details before I started getting good shots on a regular basis. Once that happens, everything falls into place, and you can be proud of your scores; so be ready for a little elbow grease, it'll pay off.

Now if only it came with its own snack bar so I could grab a soda pop between rounds...
