Ten Pin Alley
About the Game
In this bowling game, you must choose from one of eight very different characters. Choose power and accuracy from a meter that is very similar to the Links golf games. The game consists of single game, league and tournament (amateur and pro) modes.
Gameplay & Core Systems
The selected player may be edited by changing their shirt, hair, pants and skin color and is distinguished by four factors: power, release, spin and hand usage. Each strike consists of choosing the lane arrow, setting the bowler position and operating the bowling meter. Operating the bowling meter involves specifying spin velocity, power of the bowl and release point. After two strikes, the next player takes his position. The Windows version of the game allows to play up to 10 human or computer players on a single computer (hot seat mode) or via internet connection.
Modes & Ways to Play
Player support includes Hot Seat, Free-for-all / One-on-one (VS), Team, and 1-6 Players.
