This is not the game with which I misspent my youth, but it's pretty close, and a good game it is too.

The game caters for either two players or you can set up a league of up to eight.

Full instructions are given on screen and are easy to follow.

If you select a league match, this can be saved to tape for completion at a later date.

The screen display shows the table, the names of the players and their scores plus a few pithy comments on your play.

Positioning of the cue is via the cursors and when all is set, a strength of shot is displayed.

It's a pity that the graphics for the balls cannot be better - they do let down the game a bit - but they don't detract from the enjoyment of the game as a whole.
