Personal review

"Dynamite Bowl" is the first bowling game for the Famicom/NES. It is a very basic interpretation with no special features. It is hard to rate the game from today's perspective. There are not many bowling games this game had to compete with and it doesn't make much wrong with the controls. However it is also really boring and doesn't bring anything special on the table. Without a second player (the game supports up to five players) this game makes no fun at all today. Only thing you have to do is play for the highest score. Well, in 1987 with several players this might have been a different situation.
