Arcade Pool is an overhead viewed pool game designed to be easy to control. The game includes the most standard games of pool (UK and US 8-ball and the fast-paced 9-ball game), each with customisable rules, computer players of variable difficulties, and two-player options. There's also a Survivor mode, which is similar to the early Pool arcade game, in that you're playing alone and have to clear the table without missing more than three times. Speed Pool involved clearing the table as quickly as you can - two minutes can be considered a good time. The Amiga CD32 version includes automatic enhancements for accelerated systems.
The gameplay is accessible and enjoyable, with a range of options to suit different players. You can choose from various game modes, including single-player and multiplayer, and adjust the rules to suit your style. The computer opponents are challenging but not impossible to beat, making it a great option for players looking for a bit of competition.
