Bowling

(2.8)

1979

Bowling is a sports video game published in 1979 by Atari, Inc. for the Atari VCS (later renamed the Atari 2600). It was programmed by Larry Kaplan who left Atari to co-found Activision the same year. The game is an interpretation of the sport bowling, playable by one or two players.

I think this is one of those games where you had to play it when it came out to enjoy it.
The game is just too simple and boring by today's standards. It's also difficult to gauge when to steer the ball up towards the pins (though there's an easier mode where you can steer both up and down).
Bowling on Wii Sports is a far superior bowling game, and even that gets tiresome after a couple of rounds.
So, unless you have nostaglia for this game (which I don't), I don't think you'll enjoy it either.

Easy to play, sometimes annoying game.

While it's no Wii Sports, playing this back in the early 80's was like, literally the coolest thing ever. For an Atari game it holds up and can still be fun for a few minutes today.
