Side Pocket ports the Data East arcade billiards on Famicom and NES with its 8 and 9 ball pool tables and spectacular figures. The representation offers top view with angle and power adjustment, trick shot scoring in a Japanese arcade individual sport formula. Honest for NES pool fans, curiosity of the 8 bit Data East catalog.
