Pocket Bowling is a bowling video game developed and published by Jaleco for the Game Boy Color. The game was a launch title for the Japanese release of the Game Boy Color and the first bowling game for the platform.
Pocket Bowling is an arcade-style bowling game. Players bowl in a ten pin bowling setup by aligning the ball along the alley and adjusting curve and power.[1] Players can select one of six characters who have different qualities in terms of power and technique. Games are played across ten frames with a maximum score of 300, including points scoring features such as strikes, spares, gutter balls and splits.[2]
Pocket Bowling contains several modes. 'Standard Mode', for one or two players, allows players to take turns to play a game. 'Tournament Mode' allows players to select a character and compete against four computer-controlled opponents in three games across four bowling alleys in a knockout-style elimination game. 'Training Mode' allows players to practice moves on a series of customisable layouts of pins.[3]
