League Bowling HD

League Bowling HD (Japanese: リーグボウリングHD Rīgubouringu HD) is a sports game developed for the Ultra Neo-Geo. It was released on both the arcade system board and home system.

It is a high-definition update to the original League Bowling with 3D polygon graphics.

Gameplay
League Bowling HD features not only the original three gameplay modes, but also two new modes.


 * Regulation: Played like a standard, ten-frame game of bowling with 300 being the perfect score.
 * Flash: Values of 100 to 300 will flash on a randomizer during the time the bowler throws his shot. A strike adds the bonus flash value to the score accumulated at the end of the game. Below each strike value is a smaller point value, which is added to the score for a spare. Unlike regular bowling, bonus shots in the tenth frame are not awarded; once a strike or spare is thrown, the game ends. The maximum possible score is 3,000.
 * Strike 90: Played just like Regulation, except that a strike scores 90 points for the frame, and a spare scores 60 for the frame, with no carry-over bonus. 30 points are awarded in the case of a field goal (throwing the ball in between the 7 and 10 pins). Like the Flash mode, there are no bonus shots in the tenth frame. The maximum possible score is 900.
 * 100-Pin: A variant of Regulation played with 100 pins. Knocking down all 100 pins with one shot in the frame constitutes a strike. 3,000 is the highest possible score.
 * Trick Shot Challenge: The object of this mode is to perform skillful trick shots that would cause the ball to maneuver around obstacles placed on the lane in order to reach the pins. If the ball is stopped or forced into the gutter by an obstacle, it will count as a missed shot.

All gameplay modes could be played in either single player, local multiplayer, or online multiplayer, the latter of which allowing you to compete with other players from around the world. Online multiplayer matches can have up to eight players at a time, as a reflection of the original game's compatibility with the Neo-Geo MVS' multi-link function, which supported up to eight players.

Bowling Tokens
Bowling Tokens are an in-game currency that is earned from completed gameplay sessions in any of the modes, and the amount of them you earn depends on your overall score in the session.

Bowlatars
A Bowlatar is an in-game bowler avatar that the player can create in order to stand out from others. Asides from gender, eye color, skin tone, gender, hair color, hair style, and the shape of their body, the player can customize their Bowlatar's look by equipping and swapping different pieces of clothing and even costumes.

Most of the clothing items in the game can be bought at the Shop (see below) with Bowling Tokens, but others can be acquired through in-game events, purchasing DLC, or by unlocking them by earning achievements in single-player and multiplayer gameplay.

For details on the clothing items featured in the game, see League Bowling HD/Clothes.

The Shop
The Shop is where clothing items for Bowlatars can be bought with Bowling Tokens, as well as themed skins for bowling balls.
