The game was released in both an upright cabinet and a cocktail version. Most of the upright cabinets are conversion kits for existing cabinets although a limited number of dedicated cabinets were produced. These cabinets featured a birch plywood finish to mimic a bowling lane, a larger marbled trackball and painted side art.[4] The Japanese version featured a different cabinet.
An alternate version, Coors Light Bowling, was released the following year.[4] This version features endorsement from the beer Coors Light. The title screen is completely different on this version and some of the animations were changed to add Coors Light references.
