League Bowling - PlayStation 3 - Intro, Attract & Playthrough of all arcade modes
5Full gameplay longplay, playthrough and walkthrough of the rather short NEOGEO title League Bowling, this is the M2 NEOGEO Station version on PlayStation 3. It's a virtual bowling game that allows you to bowl under one of three rule sets. With the aim being to get as high as score as possible in the mode you pick. For a 1990 virtual bowling arcade game, it is hugely impressive as one of the early titles to be release on the then brand new hardware.
The animation is superb and there is a huge number of animations for getting a strike and spare. On the whole the game has aged very well, however in a few cases when you strike the pins the way they fall doesn't seem right. Still for the time for virtual bowling this was league ahead of any other arcade game out there.
This M2 emulated version was only available for about 2 years, before it was delisted. Most likely as SNK later signed a deal for Hamster to do their games on console. While M2's emulation was cutting edge on PlayStation 2 their PlayStation 3 NEOGEO emulation wasn't great and there are a number of bugs with it, more so than on MAME at the time.
