Descpription:
Side Pocket is a multi-platform series of pocket
billiards (pool) simulator video games produced principally
by Data East in beginning 1987. There are three games in the series.
The unusual single player mode, called "pocket", requires
that the player clear all the balls off the table in a limited
number of shots, as well as achieve a predetermined score.
The player earns points by sinking balls, sinking balls on
consecutive shots, and sinking balls in numerical order.
On occasion, a pocket will light up, and if the player
sinks a ball into that pocket on that shot, a bonus will
be earned in the form of points or extra shots.
In the two-player "pocket" mode, the game plays similarly,except
the two players take turns; if one player does notpocket a ball
or scratches, control of the ball changes to the other player.
