- Installation Instructions:
-
- The Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowling Demo does not require installation.
-
-
- To run the demo:
-
- Run the Bowling.exe executable from Windows 95. A dialog box
- will appear from which the user must select the display driver
- they wish to use to play the game. For users with 3D
- accelerators their 3D accelerator card will be listed first,
- and this should usually be selected.
-
- To change display drivers for subsequent uses of Brunswick Circuit
- Pro Bowling Demo, run the dxselect.exe executable from Windows 95.
-
-
- Playing the demo:
-
- The Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowling Demo is completely mouse-driven.
- To begin a game, select the "New Game" button from the opening
- interface screen, then select "Exhibition". In the demonstration
- game, all other game modes and lane selections are disabled.
-
- The bowler registry lists the bowlers who will be competing in the
- next game. To add a human player, select the "Add Player" button,
- then select "Use Brunswick Pro". To add a computer-controlled
- opponent, select "Add CPU Bowler" after selecting "Add Player".
-
- In the demo game, only two bowlers may be added, the release
- version allows 6. If no bowlers are added, a random pro will be
- selected.
-
- Press the "Bowl" button to begin bowling.
-
- When bowling, The user can position their bowler by left-clicking
- and dragging either the 3D bowler onscreen or the smaller bowling
- ball on the left-hand aim panel. The smaller bowling ball always
- reflects the target position of the bowler as he side-steps into
- place.
-
- The user may set the aim point by left-clicking and dragging either
- one of the 2 bright green arrows onscreen.
-
- The amount of hook may be adjusted by clicking on the spin-up and
- spin-down arrows on the left-hand aim panel. The red and white spin
- meter reflects the currently set level of hook.
-
- To begin bowling, the user must left-click on the large bowling ball
- "Bowl" button on the left-hand aim panel. This causes the accuracy
- and power meters to slide onscreen and the aim panel to slide
- offscreen.
-
- The ball will exactly follow the path drawn in red on the aim screen,
- if the power and accuracy meters are stopped in the middle of the
- green zones. Using less power will cause the spin to create more
- hook, while more power will straighten out the ball path.
-
- To bowl at 100% power, left click the mouse as the meter-fill passes
- through the middle of the green band on the power meter. Letting
- the fill extend into the red area will cause power to increase
- greatly and can produce unpredictable shot results.
-
- When operating the accuracy meter, left click as the meter fill
- passes throught the middle of the green band. A click which does not
- occur in the center of the green band will cause the ball to skew
- towards the direction which the click was off by.
-
- To view the last shot taken right click to enter the pause menu. On
- this menu there is the View Replay option. This option allows you to
- see your last shot in realtime, slo-mo, and frame by frame. So that
- you can get all the action.
-
- The game will end after 7 frames in demo play.
-
- To exit during a game right click to access the pause menu. Then
- the Exit Game option.
-
- Thank you for trying Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowling.
