An early 3d designed pool game. The 3d effect is actually very nice.

You can play against your friend or against several different computer opponents of various difficulties.

At first I didn't like the control icons at the top of the screen. But, it actually works really well.

A fun game and highly recommended!

Animation is too slow and choppy.
