They changed to Hyper Entertainment in 2000. They started in 1997 and were called Sony Development and were a subsidiary of Sony. The game was made by Hyper Entertainment, which didn't make any other games. In the Attraction Version and the Midrange Model, the screen is projected onto the game cabinet. The one you played is called the 'Midrange Model'. I saw a sort of 'standard' version, which has a trackball to control it and had a vertical monitor, and I also saw a version which looked similar to the one you played, but it had seats, which I learned is called the 'Attraction Version'.

Well, in that video, I saw a few other versions of the arcade game. If anyone else can either track the game down and find more about it or acknowledge its existence as well, I'd love to know. I've never seen it around ever again, and it's been at least 13 years since the last time I've known it existed. So that's my description of the bowling game. You still have to go a further way than usual to get to the ten pins at the end. While the timer isn't as much of a challenge to race as the city lane, navigation can still be a bit odd at times due to the widened layout. Tall tree trunks and uneven ground make up the terrain here. Lastly, the third lane takes place in the woods. And with all this going on, you still have to make sure you align the ball for hitting the ten pins at the end proper. Fighting the timer was a common occurrence here. I remember getting a lot of Sonic Adventure 2 vibes from playing in this one, albeit it was very annoying because you have to keep rolling the ball along roads where traffic is bound to bump the ball (the ball is roughly the size of the cars). The second takes place in a city, possibly inspired by San Francisco. The first is set up like traditional bowling ten pins await the end of a linear, realistic alley. If the time's up, it moves on to the next frame. There is a timer that counts down the amount of time your turn can utilize. You roll the ball towards your desired lane to play. The controller is a sphere on the machine part that feels just like a real bowling ball - You roll it repeatedly to roll the ball in-game, as demonstrated in the lane selection screen. The cabinet part is set up like the the machine-ish part you retrieve your ball from after rolling it (don't know what it's called, frankly) The game screen is projected, if I remember correctly on the wall. This is a bowling video game, and a rather elaborate one at that. An autodemo plays before anyone takes control of the game, and when credits are inserted, it cuts straight to an interactive level selection screen. My memories of it are actually pretty clear, but the big problem is that it never seemed to have a proper title screen. There was this one game I've played there that I've never seen anywhere else since, however. Pac-Man to ticket games and few-minute distractions like Simpsons Soccer and Mario Kart Arcade GP. Before the drastic differences made to it since the name change, there was a large variety of arcade games ranging from classics like Mr. in California.So, prior to the year 2006 or so, there was a Gameworks near where I lived (It has since been changed to 'Gameroom'). The original HyperBowl IP is now owned by Absolute Certainty, Inc. Since then, the Unity version has been deployed on a variety of Unity-supported platforms, including Android, iOS, Unity webplayer, Flash, WebGL, OSX and Windows. In 1998, HyperBowl was licensed by Technicat, LLC (currently based in Las Vegas) and converted to use the Unity game engine along with the original art and sound assets.

The game was then converted to run on home PCs and was a repackaging of the original engine. This resulted in the 'Location Based' version that was found in the Sony Metreon and in Jillian's nationwide. The original game engine itself was created by Terence Bordelon, who wrote the physics engine, animation, renderer, and gameplay mechanics and artist Phil Zucco who created all art content found in the game.

The conversion to a home game was made when Microsoft requested a limited version for Microsoft Plus! for Windows XP ( HyperBowl Plus! Edition). The arcade/attraction version of HyperBowl uses a real full-size bowling ball as trackball and displays on a 9 foot screen. There are now hundreds of lanes installed in bars and arcades worldwide. The game was updated to include two new lanes (Yosemite and Tokyo) when it was installed in Sony's MEDIAGE in Tokyo. Trivia Development HyperBowl was originally developed for the arcade at Sony's METREON in San Francisco.
