KING PIN
The Ultimate Wii Bowling Arena started off as a lower cost alternative to installing two fully operational showplace lanes within one’s residence. Once you Wii Bowl on an 8’ x 10’ high contrast video screen with the image being projected from a high-end 3,500 lumens projector, everything else pales in comparison. The other selling point is the fact when not being used for Wii games, the area can become part of a home theater where you can hook up your satellite/cable feed, DVD player, etc and enjoy watching a movie or your favorite sporting event. www.murreybowling.com
