ROM: topaz_l1

This machine was the first solid state United bowler.
There are three steps to launching a puck down the alley -
1- X Placement
2 - Direction Indicator
3 - Release/Throw

Plunger Key cycles, Left/Right flipper keys move left and right.

KeyUpperLeft ( "A" by default) selects game type.

Too easy compared to the real thing.
The backboard lights may not be accurately placed.
