Sometime in the 70's, Coleco came up with a bowling game that kids & adults could both play.
However, Bowl-a-Matic 300 didn't survive the decade, despite this choice bit. John Quade, a veteran character actor in movies & television, appeared as the villain challenging the sheriff to a game. Quade appeared in a couple of movies with Clint Eastwood, including "Any Which Way But Loose" and "The Outlaw Josey Wales", and made the rounds of primetime television, including The A-Team, during the course of his career.
Not too long after, Ideal came out with Snap Bowling, which I actually can say I owned & played. Ended up breaking the rubber band used to throw the ball, though......
