The Game In the mid 90s Virtual Pool was the definitive pool simulation game — from teaching novice players the rudiments of the old games to improving the skills of the seasoned pool shark. Interplay worked with a team of physicists and professional pool players to bring Virtual Pool to life and provide the highest degree of accuracy. Balls roll, skid, collide and move on a beautifully rendered pool table that mirrors reality. Players can "walk" around the table to check out their next shot, take a close-up look, zoom out for the overall picture and line up the shot as they would in a real game with a real table. Virtual Pool also allows players to view the shot from overhead, something unavailable in a real pool game. World Champion pool player "Machine Gun" Lou Butera is available to teach new players the tricks of the game. In addition to the library of lessons, there are over 30 video clips that show famous trick shots the player can practice. I’ve always enjoyed the game of pool, the feel of a good break, the clunk of the ball dropping into the pocket, and the anguish of the cue ball following along for yet another scratch. My biggest problem with pool is that I don’t have room for a table at home, so I never get much practice. Virtual Pool takes a full-size pool table and packs it into your computer, providing an extremely accurate simulation of the real game. In addition, Virtual Pool is an amazing tutorial in the finer points of the game for the novice player. Virtual Pool starts in practice mode — you’re lined up for a simple break shot and ready to go. Starting play is simple, almost as easy as the first time I tried the real game. But the simple interface contains a lot of power. You can move around the table and view it from any angle, even views you can’t get in a real game of pool, making it easy to plot your shot. You also have full control of the cue. You can raise or lower it, add some english to the cue ball, control the speed of your shot, and more. You can try any shot you want, and if it goes awry it’s simple to reset the table position and do it again. If you’re like me, you probably have no idea what changing the english, spin or angle of the cue shot will actually do. Virtual Pool makes it easy to learn the secrets that can turn you into a pool shark. A selection of video lessons with "Machine Gun" Lou Butera, combined with a tutorial in the manual, teach the basic shots all good pool players should have at their command. In addition to these lessons, there are video clips of Lou making some spectacular trick shots. Watching this master pull off shots that appear to defy the laws of physics is fascinating, and you can set up the trick shots Lou demonstrates and practice them yourself. After practicing some of the trick shots in Virtual Pool, I was amazed to find I could duplicate them on a real table. If this still doesn’t get you to the point where you can line up spectacular shots, Virtual Pool includes a tracking mode. Turn it on and the projected paths of all the balls will be displayed. Changing any parameter of the shot immediately updates the projection, making it easy to learn to shoot like a pro. Shooting at the white ball in Virtual Pool Once you’re through practicing, you can start an actual game of eight-ball, nine-ball, straight pool or rotation — each game is played according to professional rules. If you don’t know how to play, Virtual Pool includes detailed on-line rulebooks for each game. You can select one of nine computer players or play against another person on the same machine. The sound in Virtual Pool is amazing. Everything, from the clatter of balls caroming off each other to the sound of a pocketed ball, is realistic enough that you’ll swear you’re in an actual pool hall. The intensity of sounds — the balls ricocheting, the cue tip hitting a ball — change depending on the strength of the contact. The annoying MIDI music tracks from the DOS version are gone — you now get solid CD audio music tracks. If you don’t like the music included with the game, you can listen to your own CDs during game play. Note: My compatibility CD does not alter the retail game or bypass copy protection. It allows the original media to install and run correctly on any recent version of Windows.
