easmith Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 No one has mentioned this , so wanted to give a heads up. If you bowl a 200 and get the arcade game over screen, push “up” to play the arcade game…… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easmith Posted October 6, 2023 Author Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) Welcome to the "Fright Zone" ! Enjoy this Halloween hack by Strike Zone co-programmer and graphics wiz Kevin Mosley @KevinMos3 . A few differences from regular Strike Zone: Game over screens: score < 200 screen is random score >= 200 haunted mansion . ENTER the mansion by pressing UP ( after a short delay) Bowl Spin meter: Changed to be a bit more intuitive to learn controls. Only one side of meter shows: right = right spin, left = left spin. otherwise same as far as timing / strength of spin.

easmith Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 For those that have the new Atari VCS , final version of Strike Zone is available in the VCS store for anyone that wants to support the game . The final version has the updated shot control meter that is in Fright Zone as well as a few other cosmetic changes. Still planning on a limited physical cartridge run in the near future . 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atarian7 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Is this a 2600 game? I don't see it mentioned anywhere and it looks awesome. I thought it might be for another system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzip Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I bought Strike Zone Bowling on VCS and got the Fright Zone Halloween variant. Will the Strike Zone version return as an update there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoundGammon Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) I was watching the bowling derby on tv where you have to get as many strikes as you can in 200 seconds. Can this be hacked to do that? Edited December 9, 2023 by SoundGammon Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eegad Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Very nicely done! I never thought a bowling game on 2600 could be so addictive, but this definitely is. Just spent an hour trying to get over 200, but couldn't get higher than 190s...perhaps tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockduck Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 This game is sweet on the 2020 VCS. Currently Christmas themed which turned out great. Question: is there a way to select male or female in the VCS rom? Also, is the xmas version something that needs to be patched back to normal or is it baked into the game?
