You know how games from your childhood remind you of... well, your childhood? I've owned this game since I was very little and got my NES in the first place, but the only time I really spent any time playing it was with my (now ex-) stepsister, Christina, when I was in 7th/8th/9th grade, so this game reminds me of her.
The way the characters are dressed, the look of the alley, the music... it's all incredibly late '80s / early '90s and it's so great. I played as the only female character (there are only four to choose from) does this crazy, knees-together, feet out to the sides celebratory jump when she gets a strike, which is really funny.
I did okay, for not having played in a long time. I bowled a 108, which is probably about what I'd bowl in real life right now (my average hovered around that for the last couple years that I was in a bowling league; I'd like to think I'd still do about that well now... and real bowling is on my games list, so perhaps we'll find out at some point!).
