I am partial to this game perhaps because it was the first one I played the hell out of when I got my Atari... that is, my second Atari.
I never played this game in the arcade, either because I was too young or I didn't spend enough time in bowling alleys (I've subsequently remedied that), so I can't honestly compare it to the arcade version. |

Recipie for a sweet game:
1 amorphous gorilla
1 Mario in Nikolai Volkov wrestling tights
1 Long cool woman in a green dress
4 ghosts
A mess of barrels
Mix for 4 or five levels, and then you start cookin', my friend.
...and you wonder why people think I'm a loser? |

Oh, why did she have to get dragged into a barrel factory? And who's the architect of this goddamn place? Could these floors be more slanty? Oh I hear her screaming, I must almost be there.... just one more ladd... OH MY GOD OH HOLY HANNAH IT'S A FRIGGIN' GORILLA!! OUTTA MY WAY LADY! Luckily It's all downhill from here... |

Someone told me that these things (right) are supposed to be fire, or fireballs. Rather than look it up and verify, I will simply express my ignorant outrage. They look like ghosts, don't they? I just assumed they were. I don't know many fireballs that can be hurt by a hammer. I have had the occasion, of the other hand, to lay out a ghost or two with the old ball-peen between the eyes.
Fun game... check it out (like you haven't been playing it since 1982).
