3D Snooker
Experience all the thrills and excitement of professional world championship snooker on your home computer.
3D Snooker is a snooker simulator like no other, its many features include:
- 3D View. Never before seen on a snooker simulation
- Use your snooker skills against the computer or challenge a friend to a 21-frame tournament
- Multi-speed shots, and multi skill-level gameplay
These elements and many others combine to produce what is probably one of the most realistic and challenging simulations on the market.
The Game
3D Snooker plays to the same rules as the ever-popular sport using exactly the same scoring procedure. You must first pot a red ball then a coloured ball. Once all the red balls have been potted, you must pot the remaining balls in the correct order. Due to colour limitations, the required colour will highlight itself before you take the shot.
Game Controls
Cursor Keys - Position White Ball (within the D), RETURN - Place Ball
I, J & K - Play the shot with increasing speed
RETURN - Stop ball
V - Flip screen to other end of table
SHIFT-R - Reset frame, SHIFT-Q - Reset game
If a player makes a foul shot and leaves a snooker on the table, the message "Free Ball" will appear. The next player may pot any ball, but it will only count as the ball in play.

Authority Says
dave_e, an authority on collecting games for the BBC B/B+/Master 128, says:
3D Snooker was a surprisingly late release for the BBC Micro, and it slipped out virtually unnoticed. Although it's unquestionable quite a rare title, it was available on the high street and so there are quite a few copies of it in circulation.
