(reviewed Japanese version: Boogie Woogie Bowling)
It's bowling alright.
I'm a sucker for video game bowling because there's an element of randomness to it sure, but there is skill involved in knowing how to hook the ball, where to position the ball, and to know the weight of the ball you'll need. Now this is by no means the best bowling video game I've ever played, but it's still really fun for a rather plain bowling game. The characters are charming (I always play as the Xenomorph) and the music is decent. Still, the fact that you're stuck with the ball you choose at the beginning, and rather bland graphics on the Genesis by 1993 standards don't put this in the league of Wii Sports or Yakuza 0 for bowling games.
