      INTRODUCTION
o---------------------o

It's a great day at the bowling alley. You step to the line to knock out all of
the ten pins that are standing up. While this game may have been something that
was worth buying in the 1970s like most small games were but today that game is
too small to qualify for a retail game. Maybe it would sell as a PSP Mini.

        GAMEPLAY
o---------------------o

-The ball will automatically move back and forth, left and right. Your goal is
 to fire the ball at the pins at the right moment.

-Use Left/Right to control the trajectory of the ball after it is thrown.

-There are 10 frames to play. Knock all of the pins in the single frame to get
 a strike. If it takes two tries, it is ruled a spare. You get 1 point per pin
 if you get neither spare nor strike.

-Strikes are worth 10 points + the score for the next 2 turns and a spare is
 worth 10 points + the score for the next turn. This is why the final frame has
 up to 3 turns to calculate the score for the spare or strike in the 10th frame
 and give you your final score.

-With the above being said. The maximum score is 300 which means getting twelve
 strikes in all twelve tries. If you manage to do that then you are a pro.

-In trick shot, instead of a 10-pin pyramid, you try to knock down all pins on
 the field in a distinct pattern. You still get full points for strikes and for
 spares.

-The best way to get a strike most of the time is to fire the ball when it is
 on the right side and steer it to the left before it hits the pin.
