A strange little side quest
Strike: Ultimate Bowling has plenty of company in a long tradition of players chasing timing, patterns and better decisions. Archery was already on the Olympic programme in 1900, boxing joined the modern Games in 1904, and basketball became a medal sport in 1936. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. That gives Strike: Ultimate Bowling a little more company than it first appears to have.
