Shout out to everyone who contributed to finding these animations! I have wanted a video like this for so long since I am super invested into finding these obscure animations.
I had a tiny Local Bowling alley that closed recently and had these Animations, Barley remember some but I remember that after I bowled I ran as fast as I could just to see the animation that would play. Pure nostalgia
My local bowling alley used to have these animations. Unfortunately they were replaced recently. I'm glad someone took the time to convert them! I thought I'd never see them again.
At my old high school before I transferred, it was 2014-2016 my freshmen and sophomore year. I was on the bowling team and there was 2 alleys we would go to that had these animations. However, one of them stopped using these to put in a new system during my sophomore year. Good times... I also had no idea they had sound. I always wondered how they would be with sound, but now I know.
I'm so impressed by your story of how this came to be! I had always thought of like, asking if i could make a copy of them at my local bowling alley. It makes me so happy that these are finally here in this condition.
These remind me a lot of old Pixar short films. In fact, I always thought the bowling pin in the Fence animation looked like Woody from Toy Story with that cowboy hat on.
Oh this is just AWESOME! I remember when we used to go to Butlins in Skegness every October for 2 weeks since 1999 and they had this bowling centre called Hotshots and these animations were always played above the lanes! This is giving me such nostalgic feels, thanks so much for this lad you're amazing! Such a shame I never see these anymore, certainly not in the UK at least as it's mainly QUBICA/AMF BOSS scoring/animations now.
Thank you so much for finding all of these!!! These videos were what made me excited to go to my local Brunswick Zone, and I've been looking for quality rips of these animations for YEARS! I can still picture that old-fashioned bowling alley scent while watching these haha
In a bowling alley not far from where I live, there were some bowling animations that weren’t shown in this video. One depicted bowling pins being dunked like basketballs or something, and the camera pans to the backboard of the Basketball hoop before showing the score I’d get. Then there was one where the pins were being lassoed by a cowboy-hatted bowling pin. I remember those days.
(8 months after my original comment, since I can’t edit comments on an iPhone) I found out the name of the studio that made the bowling animations that I was referring to: Qubica.
Broo my local bowling alley had these bunswick animations! These aren’t all of them, but a large majority of them are here aaa!! I wish they still played them in all honesty, really miss them
My Bowling Alley had these animations for the longest time. And I mean THE LONGEST TIME. However it all changed when it went from a Brunswick to a Bowlero. It was either that or late 2010s in the form of those cartoon animations.
Yup. This is the one my childhood bowling alley in the 2000s. I checked out AMF’s bowling screen animations, and they were familiar, but I’d definitely never seen them. This one though… the one where the ball is asleep and the pins walk out of jail, the ball cracking against the metal pins, I remember this exactly. I think the alley might still use these.
I remembered theses classic 1990s Brunswick bowling animations brings back so many memories bowling at my school fealdtrips with my friends thanks for the video
I grew up seeing these in New Jersey (USA) and I never heard the sounds either. Really weird to be seeing them actually cleanly ripped out of the software. Excellently done.
The bowling alley in the city near my town had these the last time I went there a few years back. Nice to see the ones me and my family were never good enough to get. Hopefully they're still there the next time we go there.
Thanks so much for posting this! My local bowling alley renovated about two months ago and got rid of these animations. The place has really lost its charm.
I hope the next one to find is the animation sets from the Brunswick UChoose, which are far more modern compared to these. Late 90's to 2000's, I think. They're at an AMC bowling alley we sometimes go to and it is driving me insane that I can't find a decent portion of them online.
Holy sh*t, for some reason I remember a lot of these animations like the "Fence" one. It brings me a lot of nostalgia from my childhood when I spent some saturday evenings playing in the now closed one and only local bowling alley.
Dude ive seeñ these exact ones with the red bowling ball wtf that's crazy. Legit makes me kind of happy they're still using the hear 30 year old animations
My local alley, Hollywood Bowl in bradford used to have these animations and a set of GSX pinsetters. Used to go there every year for Christmas eve. I went iirc 2021 to sadly find that they had replaced the pinsetters and scoring computers/animations for some string crap. I’m gutted when I hear we’re going bowling only to find the centre we’re at is using string pins.
Yep, they play these at the Westgate Lanes bowling alley in my hometown of Brockton MA, and they can be fun to watch. LOL at the animation of the bowling ball cows at 0:44!
2:00 I always thought that the bowling ball was beaten up and seeing stars with his eyes opened, but instead he's just sleeping with his eyes closed. 😆
I think some of the 1995 ones might be earlier versions (hence the pins looking different) Also there's another video of some of the Frameworx animations, but with the later versions of some of the animations: czcams.com/video/MhGpp3Pp2UQ/video.html&feature=share
Hillcrest Bowl in Renton Washington had these animations, sadly they closed down...does anyone know who makes the animations that Kenmore Lanes used? "they had gutter ball, strikes, spares, and no spare animations, examples for a gutterball a bowling ball turns into a balloon and pops and for a no spare a vacuum monster sucks up the word Spare"
We have a place here in Santiago de Chile where you can still look at these while playing bowling and it was hilarious to see that the red ball man was a psycho and since it was my first time going to play bowling I found these very amusingly cringy

Same
I wonder if they usually have the bowling animations on mute (or like the TV they’re played on is muted)
@@SOZOMUCIMAD Playing at one now and yes that is the case.
I seen those at the 300 Bowl down in Waterford while I was at Post Secondary.

THE "WOW" SOUND AT 4:16 WAS USED IN KID PIX AS WELL holy shit I didn't expect to hear that.
The one at 1:46 was used in the Space desktop theme in the Plus! 95 pack for Windows 95 (and on vanilla Windows 98 Second Edition)
That was from Simpsons Arcade!
Heh, a friend of mine always thought that "Wow!" sound effect sounded similar to Big Bird from "Sesame Street!"
@@ZakWolf Oh my God it does. I can't unhear it anymore!!! Also you're a fursuiter too, cool!
Sounded like SpongeBob
my local bowling alley still uses these! it’s real fun to watch them
We have not updated those!
Perhaps they kept them on purpose for old time’s sake?
These where super high tech and impressive in the 90s before this they just had some blue teletext screen keeping track of scores.
@@belstar1128 we still have an alley that uses paper score sheets and no computers. Pinsetters and ball return is automatic though.
@@patricknedz Interesting i guess its some kind of small place.
My local bowling alley used to have these animations. Unfortunately they were replaced recently. I'm glad someone took the time to convert them! I thought I'd never see them again.
I had no idea these had audio.
There was a way to change the setting and turn th audio on, I think it was default off.

I just love those default Windows 95 MIDI instruments.
These remind me a lot of old Pixar short films. In fact, I always thought the bowling pin in the Fence animation looked like Woody from Toy Story with that cowboy hat on.
Now that you mentioned it, yeah. Has that late 80s/90s Pixar look going on.
@@MadameSomnambule The animations were made on the same computers as the early pixar animations were those computers being SGI workstations.

Never knew these animations had sound! Local bowling alley had screens on mute for as long as I can remember
these animations are all so weird and surreal i love them
0:49 New Bowling Character Unlocked
a straight shot of nostalgia into my veins, thank you for this
I would kill for my alley to have these animations again 😢
I don't know enough about bowling to know what half of these are even for, but it's amazing.
4:23 Hey, man, come here. Hey, you wanna see what I got under my jacket? 8 strikes, man!

Been looking for this for ages
1:46 The memories lmao
yeah thats the one i remember the most, same with the cowboy and the bull one
Thanks for posting these, my local bowling alley used to show these but after they updated everything its now gone. Proper wave of nostalgia.
I still see these anamations at my bowling alley and it never gets old😢

The one I went to still has them
I remember seeing these animations when I went on bowling alleys via school trips in Ms. Gina’s class!
Yup. This is the one my childhood bowling alley in the 2000s. I checked out AMF’s bowling screen animations, and they were familiar, but I’d definitely never seen them.

Ah yes, I remember those Bowling Animations when I go into some places. Such Nostalgia.
I remembered theses classic 1990s Brunswick bowling animations brings back so many memories bowling at my school fealdtrips with my friends thanks for the video
I live in Duncan, British Columbia. Whenever I see or play 5-pin bowling at the local bowling alley, these animations play.
I grew up seeing these in New Jersey (USA) and I never heard the sounds either. Really weird to be seeing them actually cleanly ripped out of the software. Excellently done.
The bowling alley in the city near my town had these the last time I went there a few years back. Nice to see the ones me and my family were never good enough to get. Hopefully they're still there the next time we go there.
Imagine a bowling video game displaying bowling animations in the monitors
I remember watching these clips all the way back in like 2009 and I'm finally seeing them WITH AUDIO
didn't even know these had audio...
Thanks so much for posting this! My local bowling alley renovated about two months ago and got rid of these animations. The place has really lost its charm.
1:59 this is one of my favorite as a kid.
1:40 POV: you just threw the ball at a nearby child then took a shit
😐

I remember some of the animations when I went bowling for the Special Olympics in bowling at a bowling alley in The Colony, TX.

Vehicular homicide
"911 what's your emergency?"
"A BOWLING BALL JUST COMMITED VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER PLEASE HELP!"
@@latetodaparty "yes, and where did this happen?"
@@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory "i think it happened near a light blue colored house"
@@latetodaparty "what did the victims look like?"
@@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory "Do you not realize that all of the residents of this town are bowling pins and look exactly the same?"

I recognize the Autodesk 3D Studio (DOS) renderer when I see it.
When I was a kid I thought the one at 1:58 said "911 breadstick corporation" at my local alley.
They still play these same ones in 2024.
These are super charming! very amazing animations! Very amazing find!
There's a place I go to every time I'm in dublin and it still plays these. Sweet!
I would love to see these old animations come back on the newer Brunswick scoring systems, basically another bowling theme that you can change
4:15 WOW!
Rip Brunswick zone, frameworks will always be remembered but never forgotten 💪🔥🎳🎳🎳
Yep, they play these at the Westgate Lanes bowling alley in my hometown of Brockton MA, and they can be fun to watch.
LOL at the animation of the bowling ball cows at 0:44!
Legendary, great job, lots of gratitude for everyone involved for finding it and making it playable! Great memories!
2:00 I always thought that the bowling ball was beaten up and seeing stars with his eyes opened, but instead he's just sleeping with his eyes closed. 😆
4:31 is my favorite
Don’t know how I went down a rabbit hole of “bowling alley animations” but here we are.
I finally found it!! These animations played at my Empire Bowl bowling alley!
I've always seen those hilarious clips in Montvale Lanes, but the screens were mute.
I’m Nostalgia for seeing these thank you for finding them
quite interesting to see these with the sounds
3:12 This feels more like a modern parody bowling alley strike animation even though this is a real one.
I didn't know they had sound for these. This is refreshing!
I remember seeing these animations on the screen before it was my turn😅 i still go bowling tho🫶
They have these at my bowling alley.
one of the bowling alleys in my town was a former Brunswick Zone and it used its assets including the animation
this takes me so back
A few of these were at the bowling alley in my hometown. It closed a few yrs ago.
5:07 *t u r k e y*
out of all of these I just remember the "Fence" one. guess that says it all about my bowling chops lololol
my local bowling alley has this things thought they are too old, they scared me as little kid, especially OPENFRM2 (alternate)
I just bowled on one of these things at Creekside Lanes in NC yesterday on original Brunswick CRTs. That shit was rad af.
Alright pinhead! Your time is up!
Who you calling Pinhead?
I like it when a bowling ball smile when a golf hit a bowling pin 2:17
Who knew they actually had sound effects?
The RED bowling ball is just a total psychopath. Look at the glee he takes at his (often unceremonial and direct) murders!
i love the fence one
I think some of the 1995 ones might be earlier versions (hence the pins looking different)
Also there's another video of some of the Frameworx animations, but with the later versions of some of the animations: czcams.com/video/MhGpp3Pp2UQ/video.html&feature=share
I remember seeing some of those animations at the bowling alley where I live way back in 1996.
This gives me so much nostalgia
The dog one with the axe dude, that one was so random and it always played at my bowling alley
I have fond memories of the fence and open animations
My bowling alley had these animations. They were okay.
Nobody:
The bowling alley on Thanksgiving: 4:58
Bowling alley screens when I get a s-
...oh wait!
I HAD A BOWLING ALLEY WITH THESE!! I didn’t know they had audio… now they just use boring modern graphics that just show the number of pins :(
I remember seeing a few of these of these weird ass animations as a child when I went to some bowling alley as a kid
Yes good these have been archived
no one:
the tv at the bowling alley when you get a strike:
Wow I never knew they had sound
Hillcrest Bowl in Renton Washington had these animations, sadly they closed down...does anyone know who makes the animations that Kenmore Lanes used?
"they had gutter ball, strikes, spares, and no spare animations, examples for a gutterball a bowling ball turns into a balloon and pops and for a no spare a vacuum monster sucks up the word Spare"
Now this is the one I remember! Minus the sounds, could never hear that
By heck, these take me back!
1:54 I recall the text "OPEN [sesame]" Text in a different font and colour.
I remember these animations!
Some of the animations were made for five pin bowling and I knew a local center that had these.
3:36
