You know from the very start this is gonna be good. Then the balls get very rude... Ahem!!

Graphics are... well... it's a table with balls on it, so there isn't much to drool over, but the framerates are very smooth and shows just what 8MHz can deliver. The 3D engine works well with fantastic first-person like views when lining up a shot. Let's not forget the game's comical side with taunting balls, evil-eyed fans or the flies on the table!! Sound effects are nice and rather varied with clinks, plops and the oddly humorous cue-chalking moments.



What I love about this game is the superb design which feels natural and realistic. After your first shot, you realise how incredibly superior the hidden mathematical calculations are that make the physics appear so believable. There are near-limitless possibilities for each shot you make, which is quite incredible.



Sure, this game is best experienced with friends, heavy double-vision in a pub with a couple of cold beers! But let's be honest, this virtual take on that is a definite close second and I cannot imagine anyone having a complaint about this superb release. One of the best Atari ST games and certainly a brilliant and faultless game by Virgin!!
