I have really been trying to find a good bowling video game-specifically for my PC/Windows version.

The only realistic game I have come across is Brunswick Curcuit Pro Bowling, but it is from 1998. Honestly, the game play and pin action are quite good compared to others I have seen, but hasn't there been anything that looks and plays more realistically come out in the past few years?

Wow...that was super fast service from the staff...thanks!

Unfortunately it looks like some of the newer ones like the AMF 2004 aren't for PC frown I have looked up the Fast Lanes Bowling for PC, and it is exactly the same as the Strike Force bowling when I had my Playstation 2 system. It was fun, but the one I have is still more realistic than it was.

But I surely do appreciate the list and plan to look a few more up even if they are on systems I don't have.

This game is good right down to the pocket 10 grrrrrr. But addictive none the less. Oh and forget about easily predicatable oyu have infinite #'s of ways to mess a shot up. I agree definately recomend, I am gonna have to delay purchasing though, it's addictive and I don't need to spend anymore time than I do now behind this screen. Good recomendation!

Howdy!

We just picked-up "Strike Force Bowling" for the PS2. It is a lot of fun, and actually allows you to 'read' the lane conditions to score! You can select ball and weight block types, and skill levels, as well! It got my daughter interested enough that she made me take her bowling!

Rent it at BlockBuster or NetFlix to try it out....it is fun! (And addictive!)

Chaaaz - is back in the house!

Stay away from AMF Bowling. Its horrible. Very hard to control the ball. Pin action is basically not there. Very hard to strike.

When I play a video game, I want to play BETTER than I do in real life smile

Strike Force is a good game. Agree with Chaaaz above.

Hi Pin Bomber:

Have you tried Ten Pin Championship Bowling. It's a PC game. It's great! I love it!
You can try it free. Go to Yahoo to find it.
If you can't find it, let me know, I find it for you.
