Overview
Description

Championship Pool lets you experience authentic BCA‑style pool competition, featuring both 8‑ball and 9‑ball formats. Start in the Regional Championship, battle 32 opponents in first‑to‑four matches, and advance to the World Championship. Play solo against AI, challenge friends in split‑screen multiplayer, or dive into online matches. The game offers precise physics, classic retro graphics, and a deep tournament structure for true cue‑sport fans.

Lunar Pool brings classic billiards to the home computer with an unprecedented 60 unique tables, each offering its own layout and challenges. Players set up an electronic cue, aim, adjust power, and watch the ball ricochet across the virtual felt to sink in the pockets. The game tracks scores automatically and supports both solo play and head‑to‑head multiplayer, letting you hone your skills or compete with friends across its expansive stage system, an expansion over the original 32‑stage PC‑8801 version.
