Time to hit the lanes in 10th Frame, a bowling simulator so committed to realism it even simulates the wait between turns. You line up your shot, set your spin, and pray the ancient gods of DOS let your pixel ball behave. The graphics depict a bowling alley with all the ambiance of a dentist’s office, and the sound effects could easily double as early attempts at techno. Yet there is something oddly addictive about trying to hit a virtual 7-10 split using what appears to be a slow-moving ellipse. Real bowling shoes not required, but patience is definitely recommended.
