Would you buy a snooker game. We got a few codemasters games and a snooker game would be awesome (I think)

Who's with me?

I would, I was just watching Selby and Ronnie playing.

Pools where its at.

Very few people?
It's a pretty niche genre, even more so than pool or pinball.
And it definitely would not inspire awe.
Should the license holder of a snooker game release it on GOG?
Sure, you usually don't make a lot of money not selling a game.
Personally I have zero interest in a snooker game, a good game with decent graphics that simulates all of the 'cue sports' that would be interesting to me.

Judging from the wishlist (http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games#search=snooker), it doesn't seem there are many people interested, but you might want to vote for one or more games...

I started internet computer games with Yahoo Pool.. I have two or three games now, lost in the backlog though. I would buy one, two, three, any more as they come, I just need the right price and important, a good soundtrack.

So, could someone explain pool vs snooker?

I had Side Pocket on SNES... I would also like that.

Basically, pool is the one with all the numbered balls. Snooker is the one with lots of generic red balls. In pool, you try to get "your" balls in the holes (either the plain colours, or the striped ones) and they stay in. In snooker you have to alternate between the red ones and the numbered ones. The all belong to everybody, and the numbered ones are put back on the table.

If I remember well.

Also, vague differences of table shapes.

I need to play GTA San Andreas again. You could play pool in the pubs :D

Pool differs quite a lot from snooker whereas pool is made of a lone triangle (or diamond) of balls. Snooker has a triangle of 15 (usally) of reds you also have 1 green ball a blue, a yellow, a brown, a pink and a black ball. reds are worth 1 point yellow 2, green 3,brown 4, blue 5, pink 6, black 7. You take turns and a turn ends when you miss a ball (as pool). You have pot a red then nominate a color and back to red, until all reds are potted. Then you have to pot all colors in sequence. the game carries on till the opponent is unable to catch up on points, or the black is potted a final time.

A snooker is when the white cannot get to an object ball directly, and the lowest points scored from a missed ball is 4, but on a higher point color it is the points on that ball.


If a player is losing by more than he can score he must go for snookers or forfeit.

Thanks!
So I think snooker is the less common, with bigger balls around here... :)



uh... and what about billiards? (guess it's just a more generic name, right?)

The only good pc "pool/billiards/snooker" game I ever played was in GTA San Andreas. I'd love a good reliable (stress reliable) one if I could get it. I myself am very limited in my knowledge of how to play snooker itself but if there was one here I'd learn.

Old man time: Remember "Space Pool" for the NES? Now there was a game!

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_White%27s_2:_Cueball]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_White%27s_2:_Cueball[/url] for one has both snooker and pool (and darts, draughts and Dropzone, just because).

I'm not sure how many people are interested in snooker now, but it used to be widely enough understood in the UK to be the basis of a long-running BBC game show (with The Snooker Song, taken from a stage musical based on The Hunting of the Snark, as its theme music).

Who would buy a snooker game? A few Brits, I suppose, but precious few others.
