Jimmy White's 2: Cueball

Development

In the magazine Retro Gamer (issue #22), Archer Maclean tells the story of an early milestone meeting with their old publisher in 1997: they showed off their hardware renderer by displaying a green polygon which eventually would become the snooker table. The publisher's manager proceeded to suggest changing said polygon to a field and making a soccer game instead. Because they disagreed with that proposition, they did not get paid for a few months until the publisher was bought by Electronic Arts.
