The local bowling-hall uses Amiga's for score-keeping. Me? I have to admit that every now and then I fire-up WinUAE for a blast of the past. I felt a little annoyed that it didn't run Oldtimer the way I hoped it would... ;-)
Get a SAM, while you can! The new AMIGA is here!

I think I have seen that.  Is it for the animations when you get a strike/spare/etc?


Not only the animations, it's also used for keeping the score. And putting your name in is done using the indestructible Arcade joysticks (tho housed in some MDF casing, to make it blend into the MDF interior).
