The Virtual Bowling is a bowling game that shares similarities with Nester's Funky Bowling on the Virtual Boy. The game features three main modes: Standard Mode, Training Mode, and Tournament Mode.
In Standard Mode, players aim to knock down all 10 pins in 10 frames. Training Mode allows players to place pins wherever they want before taking a shot, while Tournament Mode pits the player against other opponents in a series of games. Before each game, players can choose their name and adjust settings such as ball size or wax amount.
Gameplay involves tossing the ball down a lane, adjusting spin and strength with a sliding gauge to achieve the desired results.
