    Electronic Bowling

    We thought Electronic bowling could never get better but eventually it would become sentient and wipe us all out.

    This is something I would have wanted back in the day --- was never a fan of football, baseball and basketball games

      Never had that.
      What I do miss though are the bowling games they used to have in the bars.
      Now those were fun!

        In bars, like shuffleboard!

        -or I guess it was a combination of plastic bowling pins and flat metal discs going over the springs inside the wood table, below each pin. Fun stuff! The bar dashed salt on the tabletop.

        I did not encounter this electronic computerized bowling game before!

        It looks pretty awesome. Excellent!

          There's a small neighborhood bar about 20 minutes from me, for food they just basically serve those bar size pizza's
          a few tables but it's mostly take out orders, well anyways they have that bowling game still there since the 70's early 80's

            That kind, and there is another as well. With a small ball (about the size of a skeeball)
            Like in this video
            Relive the sights and sounds of a vintage coin-operated Ball Bowler machine. Filmed at the Harbor Inn, west bank of the flats, Cleveland Ohio.

            I loved playing both of them.

              Ahh. Thanks! I missed out on that one.

              That bowling game is really good.

              I'm surprised they did not make those for home use, but it would be fairly long, I guess.

              That certainly looks like a wonderful machine.
