Description
Pool is a 2-player sports game for the BBC Micro and Electron.
A 7-ball pool game, the player shoots the white ball by moving a pointer that projects from it. This can be rotated and lengthened to set the power and angle of a shot. Follows basic pool rules. On the break the player who first sinks a ball will play solids or stripes. The goal is to sink all solids or stripes followed by the 8-ball to win the game. The player will scratch on sinking the white ball, and a player shoots again after sinking one of their own balls. Players set the number of available frames to complete the game.
