I'll go on a limb here and say that while I'm sure there is some, the fact that there isn't many is probably linked to the fact that they would be even more boring that the actual "sport" itself...

Because of such a low appeal, they are way more likely to appear in game packs alongside a bunch of other similar games rather than being a standalone game.

To be fair there is a *LOT* if '?" titles in that list.

Some of them look like they have very little if anything to do with 'bowling' lol.

why is this in bowling? lol

[RedLightning]

Lol. yea exactly. I did play the one I posted in VR.. never tried the flatscreen. It was quite realistic, was like I had lanes in my attic. :)

In the grand scheme of things, there's no (few) bowling games on Steam because very few people have ever *made* a bowling game for PC.

(Now the Wii, there's bowling games. But that's because of the motion controllers.)

There are a handful - best one I've seen has already been mentioned.

My concern is that there is no legitimate curling games available. That's what I'm interested in.

I'll be level with you, I've never felt any excitement playing Bowling. But, at least in real life it can be seen as an acceptable workout as well as social mingling.

You'd never see me play a bowling games on a console or a PC unless I'm somehow threatened to do it.

Probably one of the better bowling games on steam. They also have a cornhole league game.

Probably because bowling isn’t that interesting without motion controls or if your playing it on your phone in the bathroom

People are more likely to play a Zombie game vs bowling games anyway. The idea of bowling is slowly going out like golf. 2 things that used to be very popular but not as much as years go by. as for the Zombie part well that is also because devs think that is what people want. So there is probably a lot of bad ones out there.

I feel like Gmod has to have a gamemode for it.
