Ten Pin Alley

The game was released on November 30, 1996 in North America, and eventually released in February 1998 in the United Kingdom. A sequel to the game entitled Ten Pin Alley 2, developed by an unknown developer, was mooted for a release on the Playstation 2, but for unknown reasons was shelved. The game contained considerable depth and allowed the player to participate in a number of various game play modes, including single player, multiplayer, tournament and a practice mode. Each shot was controlled in a similar fashion to many of the golf games of the era with an accuracy based pendulum system. Failing to release the ball in time would cause the default character to do a back-flip with ball in hand. While in multiplayer mode, holding down all four shoulder buttons of the PlayStation controller while pressing one of the four main buttons, would allow a player to scream a barrage of insults at his or her opponent.
