G Power Gauge.  Increases as you take your shot.  The increase speed varies depending on your chosen difficulty level.
H Click on the bowling ball image to take your shot.  The white arrows spin left/right to show which way the ball will spin when you bowl it.
I The marker shows which direction the ball will go when you bowl it.  The small window above the bowling ball, is an overhead view of the marker which appears in the centre of your lane (Lane 3).
J The pin-deck.  You can click on this for a close-up view of the pins.
K Jukebox.  This icon only appears when you have selected to play an Audio CD from the options screen.  Use the 'previous track' or 'next track' buttons to find the track you want to listen to, or press the 'pause' button to temporarily stop/resume the music.  Upon reaching the end of the last track, playback will continue from track 1.

 

 

 

To take a shot, click and hold down the left mouse button on the bowling ball image.  The power gauge increases the longer you hold the mouse button for.  While you are holding down the left mouse button, moving the mouse left/right will control either the amount of spin, OR your aim.  This depends on your chosen control method, which you will have set up in the 'Start Game' options screen.

When the power gauge reaches the top, or when you release the left mouse button, your character will begin to take his shot.  Before he releases the ball, you will have mere seconds to either steady your aim, or adjust the amount of spin which will be applied to the ball.  Again, this is dependent on your choice of control method.
