AND YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T GOING TO FIND AN APPROPRIATE BOWLING GAME.
WELL SHOWS YOU WRONG.
Bowl-O-Rama is a bowling game, who would've thunk an arcade bowling game about bowling, wowwwwwwww.
In it, you have three modes; Bowl-O-Rama (Bowling), Flash-O-Matic the goal to bowl for the highest flashing value (800) and aim for Strikes and Blackjack.
So for an optimal Jackblack you need 2 things; a 10 (or a Face Card) and an Ace.
In bowling this has been basically simplified as, get a strike, and a pin.
Repeat until you get the max score of 420.

Possible Improvements

This game blows. So, there's a menuing error. I corrected this menuing error, and then it became slower.
Did the typical go down instead up when menuing, saved frames. My pain is measurable, so I left the menuing error in this.
Now I was going to submit Flash-O-Matic along with this, but I'll leave that to bake for longer--
And for Windows people here's the inp file (I'll move it to GitHub eventually).

slamo: Claiming for judging.
slamo: Unlike most other bowling games, this one is actually not so trivial. There is some strategy required here in figuring out how to complete the game as fast as possible, since you can't just throw strikes the whole time, and the input for throwing a strike is not always the same. Getting a maximum score coincides with fastest completion, since getting a blackjack lets you throw only 2 balls per frame instead of 3. Accepting!

Synced this one as well. Is the ROM name right? capbowl.zip does not sync but bowlrama.zip works perfectly.
