Fast action is really the name of this game with balls zipping everywhere right from the break. You can shoot a one or two player game, neither against the computer, and have 10 or 15 reds.

The table is laid out as normal and below it are the power and spin controls. Power is set on a gauge while spin is set by moving a cross around a ball. The balls have to be potted in the normal manner and you are allowed to force an opponent to play again after a foul shot.

The colours can be numbered if you have a green screen and if you get a high enough break you can enter it in the high score table.

Good News

1. Smooth, fast moving balls. 2. Accurate shots are possible. 3. High break table. 4. Challenging two player competition.

Bad News

1. Baize is too light green - hard on the eyes.
