3D Bowling (1982) – Emerson Arcadia 2001 Sports Game by Emerson Radio

3D Bowling is a sports video game developed and published by Emerson Radio Corp. in 1982 for the Emerson Arcadia 2001, a second-generation 8-bit home gaming console.

As one of the few sports titles available on the platform, 3D Bowling offered a simplified but engaging digital bowling experience during the early years of home console gaming.

The game simulates a traditional 10-pin bowling match, with straightforward mechanics that focus on timing and accuracy. While lacking the realism or advanced physics of modern bowling games, 3D Bowling was notable for bringing a familiar and accessible real-world sport into the living room during an era when most home console titles focused on space shooters and arcade-style gameplay.

Released exclusively for the Arcadia 2001 system, 3D Bowling stands as an example of how early video game developers worked within hardware limitations to create enjoyable, family-friendly entertainment. It also reflects Emerson Radio's broader effort to diversify the Arcadia 2001’s game library with titles across multiple genres.

Though modest in complexity, 3D Bowling remains a notable entry for collectors and retro gaming enthusiasts interested in early sports titles and the underrepresented Arcadia 2001 console ecosystem.
