Game Introduction
This bowling game can have up to four players.
At the beginning of the game, players can choose either Standard or Spares Bowling and then either Normal or Easy Controls. Next, each player can choose to be one of eight characters including Bart, Lisa, Homer, Marge, Mr. Burns, Apu, Willie and Krusty The Clown.
This game has cartoon dialogue and commentary where each player character either ridicules or compliments another player character between turns.
If any player character gets a turkey (three strikes in a row) during the gameplay, he or she will get to use a special ball on his or her next turn which will either be nuclear waste, a bomb, a fireball or even Maggie Simpson.
On the first level of the two-player Japanese version, there is a nuclear bomb in front of the Noiseland Arcade that can be used as a weapon.
