  1. bizzare bowling game in Boston by jimmcq · · Score: 4, Informative · on Trackball 50 Years Old

    The "bizzare bowling game in Boston" was HyperBowl. That was the $30,000 version, but there is also a home version for only $20 (bowling-ball-sized-trackball not included).

    The game that Taco mentions (with the bowling ball trackball) is Hyperbowl. It's a mildly fun game. (The more beer you drink, the more fun it becomes.)

    A windows version is available, but it doesn't include a trackball. For that, you need to buy the attraction version. (It's only US$29,995.00.)

  7. HyperBowl for Windows PC by gxw · · Score: 1 · on Good Games For Christmas?

    HyperBowl first hit upscale arcades like Metreon's Airtight Garage back in '99 and has since spread all over. The original version plays on a 9 foot tall screen with a regular sized bowling ball as a trackball. This fall two versions came out for the home PC (Plus! and Arcade). This is a simple game, but surprisingly fun to play. Not exactly a Half-life substitute, but maybe a good replacement for soliaire.

    HyperBowl Plus! Edition that is in Micro$oft Plus! for Windows XP only has two lanes in it (Roman Aqueduct and Classic), but HyperBowl Arcade Edition has six wacky lanes to play in (think mini-golf meets bowling - Classic, Roman Aqueduct, Yosemite Forest, Ship on High Seas, Streets of San Francisco, and Tokyo). Right now you can only buy it online at: http://www.hyperbowl.com

    Give it a try, for a change of pace.

    -GXW is watching you.

    (there is also a download version, but it apparently only works if you have Plus! for Windows XP: http://www.hyperbowl.com/plus/download.html)
