SETTING UP YOUR GAME

• Game - Highlight this option and press 'Select' to bowl a single 10-frame game
• Series - Highlight this option and press 'Select' to bowl three 10-frame games in a row
• Help - Highlight this option and press 'Select' to access Help menus. Use the Left / Right directions on the 'Select' key to highlight one of the help areas and then click the center of the 'Select' key to read the text for that help area. Here you can get help about "Controls", "Power", "Aim" and "Spin"
• Reset - Highlight this option and press 'Select' to reset the high scores
• Exit - Highlight this option and press 'Select' to exit JAMDAT Bowling

• Choose a Starting position - You can start your shot from anywhere on the lane. Use the Left / Right arrow keys to position the ball where you want to start your approach. You can also use the '4' key to move the ball to the left, and use the '6' key to move the ball to the right.
• Start the Power Meter - To start the Power Meter on the right side of the screen, press 'Select' or '5'. Remember, for ALL game meters, you can use the 'Select' key or the '5' key to set the meters.
• Set the Power for your upcoming shot - To set the Power for your upcoming shot, press 'Select' or '5' when you see the Power meter moving up and down on the right side of the screen. Try to stop the meter on the spot about three-quarters of the way up the meter where the two arrows meet. This is the "optimum" power setting. To overpower, stop the meter above the "optimum" power setting. To throw your shot a bit slower, stop the meter below the "optimum" power setting.
• Set the Aim for your upcoming shot - The Aim Meter is a small triangle that will start moving back and forth across the screen right after you set your Power Meter. To set the Aim for your upcoming shot, press 'Select' or '5' when the Aim Meter lines up in the direction that you want to aim your shot. Your shot will roll in a straight line from the starting position on through the spot where the Aim Meter is stopped.
• Set the Spin for your upcoming shot - After setting the Aim, the Spin Meter at the top of the screen will move back and forth. Press 'Select' or '5' to set the Spin Meter for your upcoming shot. If you stop the Spin Meter on the left side of the middle marking, the ball will spin to the left. If you stop the Spin Meter on the right side of the middle marking, the ball will spin to the right. If you stop the Spin Meter on the middle marking the ball will not spin at all. For maximum spin to the left, stop the Spin Meter on the far left side. For maximum spin to the right, stop the Spin Meter on the far right side.
