Dynamite Bowl is a multiplayer bowling simulation game for the Nintendo Entertainment System, accommodating up to five players. It features 30 unique lanes, allowing players to adjust their position and throw strength. Players can apply spins or throw straight shots to knock down pins. Character customization includes gender selection and various bowling ball weights, enhancing the competitive experience.
The general concept is that up to five players can play on any of the 30 bowling lanes available; simulating the concept of being in a bowling league. Players can change their lane positioning, determine how strong the throw is, and even make the ball go through various curves (or even through a straight ball into the pins). Each player character can be either male or female with options for bowling ball weights ranging from 7 pounds or 3.2 kilograms to 15 pounds or 6.8 kilograms.
