Description from the packaging.
The realism of a simulation.
The intrigue of an adventure.
Take your shot.
A warped cue, a felt-worn table, no chalk, and a sleazy crowd.
You line up your shot and sink the ball.
You're getting better.
Go out to a pool hall, buy a new cue, rack up some lessons, and take on the sharks. Win a few bucks, gamble with skill, and build a fat bankroll.
Then, fly to Las Vegas and hustle your way through the ranks of a national tournament.
Now you're up against the best.
Let them heckle and jive. Don't ever let them break your stride.
Because the better you shoot, the bigger your slice of the pie.
- Pool Champion brings you the best of both worlds: an incredibly realistic pool simulation and an intriguing adventure game.
- Pool Champion perfectly models the physics and geometry of the game. You'll have complete control over English, follow, draw, and masse shots.
- Compete against a diverse cast of computer characters powered by an impressive artificial intelligence.
- Features eight exciting simulation options, including 8-Ball, 9-Ball, and Straight Pool. What's your best game?
- CD-quality sound creates the ambiance: ball collisions, players talking and chalking, and a great original soundtrack.
- During play, you can accrue winnings to buy a new cue, take lessons, or fly to Las Vegas.
- Five pre-rendered playing venues range from a low-life bar to a swank oriental tournament hall.
- Amazing animation gives you a real-time, 3-D player's-eye view of your cue, the table, the balls, and your surroundings.
- The program updates your stats during each game, including shots, banks and breaks. It also records your lifetime stats.
