It's time to go down your local alley and have a game of bowling. The game is viewed from behind your bowler at a slight elevated angle. Before you bowl you can move your bowler left or right to get the perfect position. There is an option to choose which angle to bowl by pressing the + or - key and also which hand you want by pressing R or L. To bowl the ball when you are happy, you move the joystick forward and press the fire button to release the ball. You can't release the ball while not running. Don't go forward too far or it's a foul. The usual scoring is worked out by the computer. Here's to scoring 300.
The player takes part in the ten events of the modern decathlon:
Day 1: 100 metres, Long jump, Shot putt, High jump, 400 metres
Day 2: 110 hurdles, Pole vault, Discus, Javelin, 1500 metres
The player starts the game with three lives; failure to reach the minimum standard in an event results in the loss of one life. Success in the 1500 Meters event results in the game returning to Day 1 to repeat the events with more difficult qualification criteria.
Running is simulated by hitting two keys (representing the left and right leg) alternately and as quickly as possible. The game rapidly gained a reputation amongst players as a "joystick killer" because of the constant vigorous waggling of the joystick required during many of the events.
Amsgolf is a computer simulation game of an 18 hole golf course. The main object of the game is to play the course of 18 holes in as few strokes as possible thus improving your handicap.

Bring your team to the big leagues, win the championship, this is a great soccer game which will take you by surprise and challenge you to score the goal of the match.
Super Baseball has a relatively orthodox system for an early baseball game, and the basic operation method is not much different from that of subsequent family stadiums (there are also changing balls and ball speed adjustments). It has some pioneering features as a baseball game of the pre-Family era.
