Depressingly BLC99 had most of those things.

I miss that, I wonder if I've got it around somewhere. Of course it'd work on PS3, as all PSX games work on PS3. Be interesting to see if it is as good as we remember.

Really? I've never played it cos it didn't work on PC for me.

According to a PS3comp site I found, it's rated 3/5 for compatibility on the PS3. What that means, I don't know.

ps3comp.com btw

Edit: Genuinely no idea if I've still got BLC'99 kicking about. Might have to try and root it out.

I can now answer that question.
The sound doesn't work and, on a 1080p monitor, the graphics make your eyes hurt.
A shame as I've not played it and wanted to give it a decent run.

Playing BLC 99 now, and unpatched you will hate it. Patched PC verison, there are still some good aspects to the game, the tours, stat tracking, some of the batting animations and definitely the ambient sounds. These (sounds) still have not been bettered imo

Bowling sucked compared to todays versions

 

[barmyarmy]

Ok. I just got the unpatched PS version. Might see if I can get the PC one to work again.

I would look in to running it on a virtual machine, Windows 98 is best for running the game and with PCs as powerful as they are now, the game should have no trouble. I'll give it a proper go later on and see if I can get it running that way.

From my experience the game doesn't work in a PlayStation emulator - well the game does, but the menus don't, making it very difficult to get a match going. That said, if you can get it working, that is the best picture you'll get out of the game as the scaling and texture filtering in emulators is really good.

Yes, you need win 98 if you want to run official patch which really helped the game.

If you use XP, then you need one of the new exe's to run game, but no patch in this case.

That would require a Playstation Disc right? I dont think it would be easy to find a 11 year old game in the market.

 

[barmyarmy]

It was pretty easy. Picked one up for ?2 on ebay.

 

[AngryPixel]

Thats a really nice deal... Lemme search the ebay.in

There is just BLC 2007 there no BLC 99
