About Classic Bowling

Classic Bowling is a simple, relaxing bowling game. Your goal is easy to explain: try to hit as many pins as you can. It is played with the mouse, and a moving power bar means your timing matters.

Real bowling is played over ten frames with two throws in each. A strike knocks down all ten pins with your first ball, and a perfect game scores 300. It is a good way to spend a few quiet minutes, and an easy game to enjoy without any practice.

How to play

  1. Line up your position on the lane.
  2. Set the direction of your throw.
  3. Stop the power bar at the right moment.
  4. Release the ball and try to knock down all the pins.

These are the usual rules. If the game shows you something different on screen, follow the game.

Tips

  • Choose one starting position and stick with it, so that you can learn how the ball behaves.
  • Aim slightly off-centre. A ball that hits the pins head-on can leave a difficult split.
  • Do not always go for maximum power. Accuracy usually matters more.
  • After a miss, change one thing at a time.
