Virtual Pool is a realistic pool simulation game that teaches novice players how to play and promises to improve even professional players. Developed by a team of physicists and professional pool players, Virtual Pool brings the game to life with high accuracy. The balls roll, skid, collide and move on a fully rendered 3D controlled pool table that mirrors reality.
Virtual Pool has features that allow players to interact with the game in new ways. Players can 'walk' around the table to check out their next shot, take a closer look, back away, look left or right and then line-up the shot like they would in a real game with a real table. The game also offers an overhead view from above, something not available in a real pool game.
Players can take tips from World Champion pool player "Machine Gun" Lou Butera to improve their game. Virtual Pool teaches over 30 famous trick shots that players can practice on their computer screen and then implement on a real table.
Virtual Pool was released on the Playstation in November 1997, offering a unique sports gaming experience for fans of pool.
