It took me a while to learn how to beat Sharkey, but now I beat him on a regular basis. To date (I have been playing the game ever since it came out), I have won over 6,000,000 playing the game. I highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys the game of pool, CAUTION: It is highly addictive! [Dave]	MS-DOS

Champion Billiards	Sega	1986		SG-1000
Championship Pool	Mindscape (Bitmasters)	1993	NES-P3-USA Play 8-ball or 9-ball in tournament mode. Winning requires beating all 32 opponents without any losses. Play 14.1, 8-ball, 9-ball, 3-ball, equal offense, or speed pool in challenge mode. Play 14.1, 8-ball, 9-ball, 10-ball, 15-ball, 3-ball, speed ball, rotation, straight pool, equal offense, or one pocket in party mode. Party mode has no AI players and is intended for 1-8 human players. Play in freestyle mode. This is intended for practice, but also a full pool table simulator. Balls can be placed or moved anywhere at any time. Inotherwords, any type of pool game can be played with any number of players just as if they were using a real pool table; they only need to keep score themselves. Use a turtle rack if desired. This mode can even be used for trick-shot competitions but limited to shots using balls and table only (nothing fancy with cue sticks, the butt of a stick, chalk, the rack, pocket rims, nor riding the wall). Essentially, this mode is every pool game ever created plus any the player makes up. [Zerothis]	NES

Jimmy White's Cue Ball 2	BAM! Entertainment (Awesome Developments)	2000	Unlike most pool simulations that take place in unrealistic and pristine environments, Jimmy White's Cueball 2 lets players feel as though they are actually playing in a smoke filled pool halls. In addition to testing their skills and understanding of physics and "English", players will also find the environments immersive, as they can distract themselves by also playing a game of darts or pulling the arm of a slot machine.

PC Pool Challenges	IBM (HesWare)	1984	I have my doubts that IBM published a game for Tandy Graphics. This was most certainly intended for PCjr.***This game seemed to appear under a couple of modified versions. For example as "PC Pool" by Dave Jurich, or "Billiard" by Mike Winlok.	MS-DOS
Pocket Color Billiard	Bottom Up	1999		GBC
Pool	Thorn EMI (Thorn EMI)	1981	There are three variations of the game in the program, including Tournament Pool and 8 Ball Pool, both for two players. If you have played before you can dive right in, but if this is your first time you will want to read the rules first to find out what the game is all about. In 8 Ball Pool each player must pocket the balls of one colour, followed by the black. The players in Tournament Pool have to pocket called balls into called pockets - with points earned for successes and lost for 'scratches'. If you want to try out your shots then Practice Pool is for you - the object being to pocket 15 balls as quickly as possible.*** [151]	Atari 400/800
