Hmm, I always pick right hand. Why is left easier than right?

Using a left handed bowler you can eliminate two of the three variables to consistently bowl strikes.  Doesn't help much in the pick-up spares game.

[Ace24]

I got some help - thanks Rogerpoco! 
No perfect game yet, but major improvement.

[cparsley]

Well I guess it's time to start bowling...

[INTELLIVISION SPARTAN]

300 BABY !!! Right Handed. I still got it !!!

[INTELLIVISION SPARTAN]

If I go any further from the tv the score blurs out since it’s white on light-grey???

[cparsley]

So close, but still so far to go failed in the 10th (right handed)

 

 

[Rickster8]

My Bowling Update: I fell apart in the 7th frame (Righty), but made a wicked split spare in the 10th..... ?

 

300 LEFTY

241 RIGHTY

247. I have a set of inputs that give me a strike 80 or more percent of the time. I’m thinking there is some randomness in the game that cause me to sometimes miss a strike even when I put in the same usually successful inputs. Either that, or I’m just not being consistent. Is there randomness the game such that “strike yielding inputs” don’t give a strike 100% of the time? Or are there some sets of inputs that will always work if the player doesn’t make a mistake?

I think there is some randomness as the same inputs will not always yield a strike. You just have to keep going until you get 12 strikes in a row. I've been able to do it twice now in the past 3 weeks playing sparingly.... ?

And to think I thought you didn't use puns...

Added in another score.

[Rickster8]

My Bowling Update: Had a SWEET Pick-Up Spares game. It could have been better too as I missed an easy one on the first ball of the 7th, also missed a split in the 8th. If the random order of spares works in your favor I think 150 is possible.... ?

 

 

PICK-UP SPARES - 136

Game 5

 

[cparsley]

Normally never played the Pick 'up Spares variation, and trying to use the setup I got the 300 on is even more foreign to me in this (might have to go back to my old school setup)

 

First crack, however...

 

 

[Ace24]

This is a 264. Sometimes the display goes glitchy on the final

score screen.
