The next one I post after this will put me over the halfway mark. It is more than likely that the last game I will end up FAQing will be Basic Tutor since that ones going to be a long one. o---------------------o STORY o---------------------o In Bowling, your goal is to get as close to 300 points as possible. With the way this game's programming is, you'll be a pro if you get a perfect score of 300. Choose a speed to test your skills. In Micro Match, you flip one out of 24 cards at a time and try to match them with another card in the pile. You can choose to match words or designs in pairs or you can choose them along with colors to match them in threes. o---------------------o DISCLAIMER o---------------------o Bowling/Micro Match is a trademark of APF and all copyrights belong to them.

For more guides by myself visit this link: http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/74803.html o---------------------o CONTROLS o---------------------o Joystick numpad: choose game, choose number of players, choose card (match) Joystick enter: Flip Card (match), Bowl (bowling) o---------------------o GAMEPLAY o---------------------o This game assumes you are either using the actual system or the emulator MESS as it works better than APFE_W but the latter is more realistic. First you choose between these eight options Micro Matchup -1. Word Pairs -2. Design Pairs -3. Color-Box Triplex -4. Word Triplex -5. Design Triplex Bowling -6. Slow-Bowl -7. Regular Bowl -8. Speedy-Bowl Next, you will decide if you want one or two players. ---- Bowling -The ball will move back and forth across the screen. When you are ready to roll the ball, press Enter on the joypad to send the ball on its way. -The graphics are so cheap that the hit pins will disappear and you will have no indications that the pins were knocked into other ones. They just end up dis- appearing too if that was the end result. -For every pin that gets knocked down, you score 1 point. If you manage to knock them down in one go, you earn a strike. Strikes are worth 10 points plus the total of your next two two turns. Ex: You get a strike so you got 10 then on the next frame, you knock down 5 pins then knock down 4. The initial frame you got a strike in is worth 19 points. Now if you had knocked down all pins in the one frame in two turns, you earn a spare. Spares are worth 10 points plus the next turn. So you got 10 for the spare then on the next frame you knock down 7 the spare is worth 17. -In all, a strike is worth 30 at max and a spare is worth 20. This is were the 300 comes in. In the final frame, you get up to three bowls instead of the two you normally get. This is done so you can calculate the value of the final bowl if you get a strike or spare in that frame. -The three speeds determine how slow or how fast the ball moves before bowling. ---- Micro Match -The game is simple, you can choose to match pairs or threes (triplex). -Only the words and designs can be matched in pairs. If you decide to match in threes then you have an added options of matching colors. -There are 12 pairs or 8 threes total. Clear them all and you win. -To flip a card, press the indicated number on the joypad and press Enter then do it again to flip the next card. If the cards do not match, the cards will flip back face down after a few seconds. If they match, they vanish from the screen. o---------------------o CREDITS o---------------------o APF for making the game GameFAQs for hosting the FAQ My grandfather Jageau Steile Sr. for lending me his APF-IM set for me to FAQ this game since APF emulation is crap.
