Synopsis

Mike Lamb recreated the basic rules of the popular English snooker game in this simulation, which can be played by one or two players, but has no opponent as such, unlike the later 16-bit remake.

Instead, you're scored not only based on how many points you legitimately score, but also how many points you concede through foul shots and how many shots you take in total. You always take the next shot, even if you miss or make a mistake, so in a one-player game, breaking strategies can be slightly more aggressive than in a real match, because there is no risk of giving an opponent a chance

Like in the real game, you start by trying to put a red (there are 10 or the real 15, depending on which mode you choose), and if successful you choose one of the 6 colors (by pressing the number corresponding to its point value). Once you have the direction of the shot lined up, you will need to adjust the speed and then the rotation.
