Training Mode lets the player practice ten frames of bowling with their own set-up and no competition.
Game Mode allows the player to choose to play between 1-5 games of bowling against one of the eight bowlers they can pick from.
Players get to choose their bowler's portrait, enter their name, choose the hand they bowl with, and the weight of the bowling ball (from 8 to 16 lbs).
VS Mode allows competition between 2 to 4 human players.
Doubles Mode lets players set up teams of human players and let the players take turns bowling.
The team with the highest score at the end wins.
When bowling, the player can choose the position of where to throw the ball from and the angle of their aim.
Players can also add spin to the ball.
Once everything's set, the player has to use a power meter to determine the strength of their throw.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Perfect Bowling for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Perfect Bowling to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1989.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
