Bowling
One of the most popular sports. Not because it gathers millions of spectators at competitions, but because it is easy to learn and accessible to almost everyone. The goal of the player is to knock down 10 pins, which are arranged in a pyramid shape at the end of the lane, with one or two rolls of a special ball. Depending on how many pins were knocked down and in how many rolls, players are awarded different points. The winner is the one who scores the most points in the game. Recently, bowling simulators for touch screen devices or consoles with interactive controls have become popular in video games: Nintendo Wii U, Xbox 360 + Kinect, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4 + PS Move.
