There are many fun games to play on the computer like cubic snake, Tetris, and poker, but a really fun game to play is Galaxy Bowling. Galaxy Bowling is a bowling game where you roll a bowling ball down a lane and try to get a strike. The point is to try to get as many strikes as possible. You do this by spinning the ball with the trackpad on your laptop to get the ball to spin perfectly into the pocket for a strike.

 

It’s called Galaxy Bowling because of it’s planet life theme that’s brought to the game of bowling. There are bowling balls that are named after each planet, and the weight of the ball is determined by the size of that planet. For example, Jupiter weighs the most while Mercury weighs the least. The game does a great job of giving every gamer some astronomy knowledge while also giving them an entertaining game to play.

 

Senior, Jack Krieger, has great interest in the game, and believes he is the most skilled Galaxy Bowler in the school. He has bowled 7 perfect games with ease. “I consider it to be one of the greatest accomplishments of my lifetime. I like the competition involved in galaxy bowl. Many people throughout the school and the world are playing in pursuit of a perfect game, and when I bowled my first 300, I felt electrified. It felt great to join the fraternity of elite galaxy bowlers,” said Krieger.

 

Jack puts in many practice hours when he can, and even during his busy schedule, he manages to find a way to keep working hard and getting better at the game. “I tend to play Galaxy Bowl every day at school. At first I was just playing to kill time, but now I play for the love of the game,” said Krieger.

 

Dedicated Galaxy Bowlers like Jack Krieger are rare, but Krieger hopes to see his legacy carry on into the hands of younger gamers. “Love the game and the game will love you,” said Krieger.

 

Senior, Dylan Dubuque, has also had his fair share of success during the game. “Dubs” has bowled 2 perfect games and loves the game almost as much as Krieger. “It’s a great way for beginners to learn the game. It’s also very straightforward and great for the community,” said Dubuque.
