Bowl a Ball is a pocket pinball game released by Largo Toys Ltd. in 1988. Like the other pocket pinball games, Bowl a Ball likely uses supplemental artwork for Super Mario Bros. on its playing field.

DetailsEdit

The objective of Bowl a Ball is to hit one of the provided six small metal balls into the rings at the top of the playing field, functioning in a similar manner to Skee-Ball. To this end, the closer to the center one of the rings is, the more points it will net the player. The outer ring is the least valuable, being worth 20 points; the middle ring is worth 50; and the center ring is the most valuable, being worth 100.
