113.0. "Lunar Pool" by REGENT::GALLANT (The Wild Heart) Mon Aug 08 1988 12:57

    
    	I rented Lunar Pool a few nights ago and can't get enough!
    
    	Although it's not a very difficult game, it's fun to play.
    	
    
    	there are 60 screens, each with a different type of pool
    	table.  You can adjust the friction of the table from
    	00-255.  00 being the point where the cue ball will not
    	stop rolling...
    
    	
    	Anyone have comments??

113.1Hi tigger... "lend me thine pool cue..."VICKI::SHIPPINGFri Aug 26 1988 19:4220
    I've had lunar pool for about six months and still find myself playing
    it fairly often.  And I disagree with "its not a very difficult
    game" particularly on some screens that you really have to work
    your ball out of a precarious situation.
    
    I've tried some of the final screens as well, and on one in particular,
    can't sink one ball out of the six of them. 
    
    I've also tried playing without any friction, and find it impossible
    to play.  The ball never ever stops... you have to sink all six
    balls on one shot, and then the ball still keeps on going.
    
    If you pump the gravity all the way up, you get these little choppy
    strokes like a real hacker was shooting.  I kind of like that, seeing
    as I identify pretty well to that term...
    
    What I would like to know is, how does Lunar Pool compare to other
    pool games?

    Thomas,
    
    I'd rent it...I personally found the game gets boring after awhile, and 
    the feel of the "cue" feels wrong....
    
    A better game for pool is Sidepocket.
