About this game

Indoor Sports brings four recreations together in DesignStar's SportTime line: Ten-Pin Bowling, Darts, Air Hockey, and Ping-Pong. Air Hockey is not included on Commodore 16, while Ping-Pong is absent from European Commodore 64 releases.

Each event includes computer opponents with multiple skill levels, human-versus-human play, and a demo mode. Matches can use different numbers of rounds, with additional settings varying by sport.

Events

  • Ten-Pin Bowling: A three-stage shot system lets players position the run-up, set the angle, and time the ball release. The action is shown from a side view before switching to the bowler's perspective for the result.
  • Darts: Four skill levels and three speed levels are available, with games to 301, 501, or 701 points. Options determine whether scoring must begin or finish with a double.
  • Air Hockey: Matches last five minutes or end when a player reaches 12 points. The angled overhead view emphasizes the goal at the top of the playfield.
  • Ping-Pong: Six ability areas can be graded from 1 to 5, providing a handicap system for more closely matched games. Shot direction is controlled by pressing the angle and fire inputs together.
