Are there any good bowling games that I can download?

Games like Polar Bowler or Gutterball (1 and 2) are a little bit too unrealistic.


EDIT: Bowling Blast

Hi,

There were a few flash based games a few years ago. Most are too "arcady" for my liking.

By far the most realistic bowling game was Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowling, circa 1998. The physics involving ball contact, rotation, oil patterns, etc. is very realistic. There were demos out there but probably have all gone to /dev/null due to age.

This game with an updated graphics engine (Crytek anyone?) would rule the roost for some time to come. Unfortunately there is just not the demand for a (non FPS) game to do this so this will never happen.

Yeah, all the more realistic games seem to have very outdated graphics. Gutterball 2 has decent graphics, but the alleys are just weird and you can control the ball as it moves down the lane.

I found one called Pin Action Bowling that is quite good despite the fact that it could probably run on a 486 DX2. Unfortunately the trail version only lets you play 4 frames.

You must have a hell of an arm to be able to throw a 486DX/2 and get any wood at all.

OMG the way that could be read into is nasty! :Q
