So the game I’m looking at is Flick Bowling from Freeverse, and interestingly I think they might be bringing out a compilation of Flick games as once your into the main menu the heading says Flick Sports Bowling, so I’ll keep an eye open on that one.
As the name suggests, this is a bowling game, however I must quantify that as a bowling game, in the UK this could indicate Crown Green Bowling and I’m sure that are other Bowling games in the world that are not ten pin bowling, which of course this game is.

I’m what you would call an “old school” gamer which means while I’m generally cannon fodder in Halo, put me on a 25 year old stand-up Tempest game and watch out! So I’ll admit I’m not the most up to date gamer out there but I’m also a parent. When I saw Freeverse’s Big Bang Brain Games I was immediately interested. This looked like something that would be fun for my family to do together.
It’s hard to imagine that it is almost twenty five years since I sat down and played a game on my first personal computer. I was a child of the early 70’s and like every other boy in my class was fascinated by the personal computer phenomenon.
Fast forward to the early 80’s and I was fully into handhelds, consoles and of course my beloved ZX Spectrum 48k. Yes you did hear me correctly, 48k!
So, I’m guessing that by now you’re thinking what is he wittering on about?
Basically, Pulp Motion takes your digital media and creates these weird and wonderful animated photo albums. The first thing I considered when I started reviewing Pulp Motion was how could I achieve a similar results without using a product a like this.
