HyperBowl: From Sony Arcade to Windows XP Classic! An LGR Retrospective

Hyperbowl is perhaps most known for being in the Windows XP Plus! Pack and Media Center Edition in the 2000s, but it first was a (literally) huge arcade game attraction created by Sony for use in the San Francisco Metreon Center in 1999. While I've never experienced that machine, I played a ton of it on PC! So let's look at each different home version, including the newer Unity Engine releases.
