They've been bowling fans over with their irresistible pop for years — now 'NSYNC buffs are getting a chance to return the favor.

The 'NSYNC Hotline Fantasy Phone and CD-ROM for PC computers invites players ages 8-12 to compete for a virtual backstage pass by successfully completing five short games, including a bowling segment that features JC, Lance, Justin, Chris and Joey's talking heads atop pins literally begging to be knocked down.

The key component of the game, developed by Stunt Puppy Entertainment, is the Fantasy Phone, a device that acts as a controller when plugged into a PC's gameport. When it's not plugged in, it rings the user with personalized updates in the form of text messages and sound bites. For example, fans can receive a birthday message from Lance or be reminded of an appointment.

Other challenges, each hosted by a different 'NSYNC member, include the memory-dependent Quick Change, the mimicking Make-a-Move, Trivia and Charity Challenge, a scenario that finds the guys in a kissing booth. Overcoming each game in order reveals an autographed backstage pass, a congratulatory video message and backstage photos.

The game, which debuted at last week's Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, is slated to hit stores in September.
