Trivia

The 3D engine was originally written for the Acorn Archimedes system in 1988, although I don't think that version was ever finished.

The idea for Jimmy White to license the game actually came from TV Presenter Jeremy Beadle, when he met Archer MacLean at a trade show.

There is a hidden mode in this game in which you can watch the computer compile breaks of 147 (the most that's possible in normal circumstances, and something of a Holy Grail among professional snooker players - only 4 players, including Jimmy White, have done it at the World Championships, although Ronnie O'Sullivan has scored 2). Go into Trick Shot Mode and press F7, F4 and then F1, and it will now be available on the Demo Mode Menu

An updated Amiga version was made in 1994, adding accelerator card compatibility and multiple game-save slots.

Some early Amiga copies weren't fully compatible with Kickstart 2 either, and produced black blocks on the screen (although it was basically still playable)
