I have a bowling game on my smartphone, and some bowling doors
on the BBS. Otherwise, that's the only bowling I do anymore, but
this tagline comes to mind. <G>

duno if you're into emulators, or non-bbs gaming in general, but i highly recommend the Super Nintendo game "Super Bowling" :)

i think it's the best one for home consoles, perhaps other than Wii Bowling (i prefer the plain old game controller). i've played it two player with random people and they don't hate me for it hehe

honorable mention for Nestor's Bowling for the Virtual Boy. i wouldn't even play it on a real device but if your emulator can swap the colors for grayscale it's neat :)

you'd think "hey Playstation/N64/etc must be nice right?" .. if you're interested in the topic there's some youtube videos demoing a lot of them.. they're BADDDD lol

I haven't tried that bowling game, but I might check it out.. I do like the Wii Sports bowling. I'm not sure if I'd like playing a bowling game with a traditional game controller though.. However, I do sometimes like playing sports video games (usually baseball), even though I rarely watch actual sports games.

I wouldn't know, as soon as they stopped calling it "Butter" I stopped
having it put on my popcorn.

First it was butter, then it was "butter flavor", now they call it
"popcorn topping".

Aside: I've noticed more people now buying the large popcorn container
with free refills and taking popcorn home with them after the movie.
I'd think one or two refills while you're at the theater would suffice.

I remember some Theaters got Air Poppers machines many years ago.
I still like that idea so I use a Popcorn popper that goes in the mcrowave oven.
1/3rd Cup of popcorn, 3 and a half minutes then in the BIG BOWL.
I don't evenadd Salt to it.
So I eat it Generic!

The microwave popcorn popper I have is made by Presto.
Wouldn't want to use a Pressure Cooker, Chinese or otherwise.
I think what I use pops corn quicker than trying the heat that pressure cooker. 3 1/2 minutes in a 1000 Watt microwave oven suits me.

The Presto popper uses a paper insert, but it can be used several times before throwing it away and placing another one in the plastic container.

Bought several packs of the paper inserts years ago and still have a bunch of packs.

My original Presto unit lasted for years, can't recall why I bought the second one I use now.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I will continue using the popper I have.
