Holy Awesomeness Batman!
This is a bit over twice the price of its closest competitor, but is ten times higher quality, particularly that it's still maintained and updated. Take the time to read the owner's manual and setup is not as intimidating as it may seem at first. Prime example of why I love SL. Just incredible how folks can get realistic physics into a virtual bowling alley. Every bit of five stars.
If I have any suggestion, it is that I would like a way to reposition the overhead scoreboard to accommodate different ceiling heights. I ended up attaching chains so they appear to be hanging, which works but doesn't have the "built-in" look I would prefer.
EPIC
Perfect. Love how it plays & looks, better then the last one I have to where I could only have a total of 2 lanes, now I finally have 4 lanes out.
The perfect answer to not being able to bowl in our First Life
I love to bowl, but I haven't been able to get to a bowling center since 1986 when I was in the Air Force. I love watching pro bowling, but it just makes me want to hit the lanes again. Now I have my own bowling center with the Bergson system, and I love being able to bowl any time I can get in Second Life. Plus, I don't have to worry about my back or knees fussing because I moved wrong throwing the rock.
AWESOME
You purchased this item on March 06, 2017.

AWESOMER
this bowling is awesome and low prim. I got 5 lanes out of the same Li as another system i was using for only 4 lanes.
Love the mesh details too and super easy to install.
Amazing feature rich bowling system with the best support I have ever had in SL
Me and my partner play on this system all that time at this RP sim were at. We love the system, but had a few very minor problems. I contacted the creator, and was shocked with how amazing the support is. The creators really care about what they made, and it's always being improved and updated. I'm so impressed with the system and the creators that I literally bought this system just so I could leave a positive review. Seriously, if your looking for a good bowling system that's loaded with features and actively supported, you don't have to look any further, it simply doesn't get any better than this.
