# Lucky Strike / Bowl A Strike

*Lucky Strike* and *Bowl A Strike*, both released by Williams in 1965, are classic electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machines designed by Norm Clark. These machines share the same bowling-themed playfield but were released in different formats: *Lucky Strike* is the replay version, while *Bowl A Strike* features an "Add-A-Ball" mechanic, making it more popular in regions with stricter replay regulations.
