If you’re looking for a little distraction without having to put much thought into it, then you should check out Arcade Bowling. Arcade Bowling is just like the bowling games in the arcade. You roll the ball down the alley and up into cups to score. Just like the real game it takes a little finesse to get the balls into the cups with the higher scores. The first time I played this game I really sucked at it. The problem was that I was flicking the ball to fast/hard. Then I slowed it way down and started getting higher scores.Â
Arcade Bowling has two modes: Classic and Progressive. The Classic game is just like the one in the arcade. You get a set number of balls and ones you’ve bowled them all, the game is over. The  Progressive game is based on achieving a set score. If you achieve the score then you get more balls to continue playing.
Â
- Classic Mode (9 Balls)
- Progressive Mode – multiple levels of game play with increasingly challenging score plateaus and bonus targets
- Choice of two background music tracks
- Accelerometer control of the ball in flight
- Sound and music volume controls
- Local high score boards
- Global High Score boards so you can compete with other players around the globe (pending Apple approval)
Arcade Bowling is a fun game and provides a nice distraction when you need a break in your day or your standing in a line somewhere. Â If you like Skeeball, you’ll love Arcade Bowling. Arcade Bowling goes for $1.99 and works on the iPhone and iPod touch. Download it from the App Store here. There is a lite version that is FREE. The lite version only has the Classic game with 9 balls. Download Arcade Bowling Lite for FREE from the App Store here.
Great suggestion Terry. I love this one!
OK, Terry, call me a dummy. I just got an iPod Touch 2nd gen 32 gb. It is my first iPod. Except for having no phone & no camera, if I learn about the iPhone, will I learn what I need to know about the iPod????? Thanks
Karrel,
You’ve got it! If you learn about the iPhone (from say my iPhone Book 😉 ), skip the stuff on the phone, you will learn all about your touch!

I love Arcade Bowling. I have the Lite version installed, and its perfect. I only play it when I have less than 5 minutes but don’t just want to stand around. Keep up the great posts. Thanks.
Terry check out these cute little aps that my son-in-law made with the help of my granddaughter they should be up in a few days. We gave our grand daughter a book on the human body and she was so fascinated by it that her mommy thought that it would make a fun little game to keep the little ones busy in the car.
