Despite the title, 3D Bowling has two-dimensional graphics. However, it does employ a pseudo-3D effect similar to Basketball for the Atari 2600. When the game begins, players are shown an angled/ overhead view of the pins (which look like plus signs and simply flatten when knocked over) at the top of the screen and a side-view of the bowler on the lower half of the screen. Lining up the bowler involves moving him up and down, which is how it's done in PBA Bowling for the Intellivision. The bowler is very nicely animated, and the ball is even shown rolling back to him after each throw. The ball has a natural curve to the left (imitating the roll of an accomplished right-handed bowler), but players can push the keypad buttons to hook the ball right or left. - Brett Weiss.
