Strata Bowling (v3)

Step up to the lanes in Strata Bowling (v3), a two-player bowling game released in 1990 by Strata and Incredible Technologies. Players control their bowler using a trackball to aim and release the ball, striving for strikes and spares across multiple frames. The vertical screen displays the action with a resolution of 240x256 pixels and uses a palette of 256 colors. This game offers a unique twist on traditional bowling, demanding precision and control as you navigate pin layouts. A memorable soundtrack accompanies gameplay, complete with lyrics celebrating the game itself—a catchy tune that plays upon achieving high scores. Two buttons provide additional functions during play. Developed by a team including Richard Ditton and Steve Jaskowiak, Strata Bowling provides a straightforward but engaging sports experience for two players seeking to test their bowling skills.
