Side Pocket is a sports game where your main objective is to sink balls in each level and reach predetermined scores to progress. However, be careful – you'll have only a few lives, and any mistake can be fatal. After completing each stage (some luck involved), a bonus stage will appear, along with the chance to earn extra balls. You'll need a good target in the parquet block.
Side Pocket 's gameplay varies across different platforms. In its original form on Sega Mega Drive , you'll compete against the timer in a pool game where your goal is to get all balls into pockets and earn points. The NES release adds modes for two players, including a 2P Pocket Game that's similar to the single-player mode.
The different versions of Side Pocket also feature unique gameplay elements. On the Game Boy , you can play with one or two players in two game modes: 9-ball and Pocket. The Pocket mode is similar to the NES version, but on Genesis and SNES , it's improved with more stages and trick shot layouts.
Side Pocket was released on December 11th, 1992 for the Sega Mega Drive .
