Title: This beat is Bowlatronic
Post by: Blanka on October 16, 2010, 03:27:13 PM

Got hands on one of the weirdest handhelds:
The Coleco Bowlatronic. This thing is almost half a meter long.

It's a LED game, so the balls route is show with plain leds, and the 10 pins are LED's with a pin-shaped mask in front of it.
Above the pins you see your man running, and you have to press a button on the right moment (at the line). It is similar to modern golf games. You pick a direction, and by timing against a mark you determine the perfectness of your throw.
