Gameplay

This game simulates bowling, darts, ping-pong and air hockey.[1] The C16/Plus/4 version only has the first 3 events.

Reception

Computer Gaming World called the bowling game of Indoor Sports "quite difficult and badly executed" but said that the other games were much better, with darts being the best.[2] The game was reviewed in 1988 in Dragon #133 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column. The reviewers gave the game 2 out of 5 stars.[1]
