Building an arcade style bowling game? like the striker game?.
« on: November 11, 2007, 11:17:02 am »
I was wondeing if anyone has tried a bowling game before? there is a game called striker I believe that is about the same type cabinet / size of a skeeball cabinet but you bowl instead. This has got me wondering if it would be possible?. Anyone have any idea of how to go about this or how the game mechanics work?. Thanks,

Anyone played this game before(striker)? or any pictures of the mechanics for the pins? or a general idea of how the make this work? Are the pins on strings in that perticular machine?. I think I am going to attempt this in the very near future. Thanks again for any help.

Do you mean this type of game.  If so it is obviously string controlled.

I think I may have a plan on how to do the pinset and reset....and a gravity ball return should work fine for this. I am going to make mine longer than the 11 foot one in that video......These games are sectional and can build up to a 20 or 30 foot lane. I still would like to know how one functions inside though.
