There have been snooker and pool simulations for the Beeb before, of course, but this is the best. Read Review
This was recommended at full price - as a budget release it's unmissable. Read Review
It's quite enjoyable to play, fairly frustrating (just like the real thing) and immensely satisfying when you land Smug Davis in an unplayable snooker. Read Review
This is an adequate snooker game. Read Review
If the computer has been selected for one or more of the play options, the computer asks for the skill level for it to play at. Using the control keys varies the skill level. Press SPACE to continue. Table speed has three options; fast, normal, or slow - again, this is controlled by the control keys. Press SPACE to continue.
After potting a red, you will be asked to select a colour. Move the '+' over the colour you require and press SPACE, the colour you select will be shown on the bottom on the screen. During match play if your opponent commits a foul shot you can request him/her to play again. The computer will always choose to play itself. Your decision is made using the control keys and pressing SPACE.
Normal Snooker rules apply. A red ball (score 1) is pocketed first followed by a colour (score as table). The same sequence follows until no reds are remaining then the colours are potted in sequence.
Yellow | Score 2 |
Green | Score 3 |
Brown | Score 4 |
Blue | Score 5 |
Pink | Score 6 |
Black | Score 7 |
For a foul involving the yellow, green or brown ball, a fixed penalty of 4 points is incurred. If blue, pink or black are struck out of sequence the foul values are 5, 6 or 7 respectively.
Note: Due to the limitations of the computer, it is not possible to show a black or brown ball. The black is represented by a white circle and the brown by a green with a red circle.
Z - Left, X - Right, * - Up, ? - Down, SPACE - Fire
S/Q - Sound Off/On, ESCAPE - Restart
