Quick, head to your desk drawer. You might have a Zune HD in there that hasn’t had electricity flowing through it for quite some time. Charge it up. Do you see Lucky Lanes Bowling on there? It was one of those free games for the Zune HD that quite a number of us enjoyed. While you won’t be playing it on your Windows Phone device, you can fire up your Windows 8 machine and enjoy it!
Lucky Lanes Bowling is out now for Windows 8. It’s fun and addictive. Most bowling games are, but this one also looks good while doing it. You get some sweet features, like:
- Play against up to five of your friends in a cinematic Western environment
- Realistic physics keep the action authentic
- Enjoy stunning graphics and a blazing soundtrack
- Intuitive controls keep you focused on the game
- Stay tuned for more lanes and characters!
The game is made by Babaroga, a studio that isn’t new to Windows Phone or Windows 8. They’ve made dozens of games for Windows Phone (Shuffle Party and Zombies!!! to name a few) and a number of others for Windows 8. Check out our interview with them! It's safe to say you should check out Lucky Lanes Bowling for some Zune HD nostalgia.
We could only get the game to run on our Windows 8 machines, the game was wonky in the preview of Windows 8.1. Don’t blame the game, blame the beta.
Lucky Lanes Bowling has a free trial and will cost $1.49 if you decide you like it. Head to the Windows Store to grab it for your machines!
