[edit] Gameplay
The game featured nine bowlers; Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Mr. Burns, Apu, Krusty the Klown, Groundskeeper Willie, and Abe (Grandpa) Simpson. Each bowler had different strengths and weaknesses. Mr. Burns' specialty was throw a ball with a good hook, Willie has the most power and shared the best accuracy with Homer. Abe has his stats nearly perfect.
[edit] Easter eggs
After bowling three strikes in a row (called a turkey), depending on your character, you would get a special ball. The result would be a strike most of the time. The specials balls are:
- Fire ball: A flaming bowling ball.
- Maggie ball: Launch Maggie down the lane.
- Nuclear ball: Throw a ball full of nuclear sludge.
- Bomb ball: Would result in a big explosion.
Abe (Grandpa) Simpson could be unlocked by moving the cursor up and down quickly (in the character selection screen), Grandpa would suddenly appear as a playable character. His stats are nearly perfect.
