You are thrown into the high-pressure world of snooker where you and a friend battle it out on the green baize. But you don't have to start with the full 15 reds - you can have six or ten instead.

The table is displayed with the familiar layout of snooker balls (you can number the colours if you have a green screen) and you can place the cue ball anywhere in the D. You aim the cue ball with a circular cursor and then have to decide the strength of the shot and whether to put on any top, back, left or right spin.

You have to pot a red first and then a colour, before potting another red. All the usual fouls are given except you can't get a free ball when snookered off a foul shot. The game tells you your highest break at the end of the game. There is also speech synthesis for those with the SSA-1 synthesiser.
