DESCRIPTION

3-D Pool is different from other billiard simulations. One difference is that no cue stick is shown on screen. Instead of lining the stick up to the ball and shooting, with perhaps one or two angles from which to examine the shoot, 3-D Pool does away with the cue stick. Player can rotate the table, providing unlimited angles of view for any shot. Cue ball is always in center of screen, and shots are made by lining up the object ball(s) with the cue ball. Players have complete control over position of the cue, amount and type of English on the ball, and the power behind each shot.

3-D Pool follows Monte Carlo, or European rules, instead of standard American regulation. Player in 3-D Pool can participate in practice games, two-player matches where they can take on a friend, or even in a tournament against computer players of varying skill levels. 3-D Pool also includes demo game and special trick shot feature, where players can try to solve 20 of the most difficult and popular trick shots in billards.

TRICK SHOTS

Here are some codes for trickshot solutions. The first four numbers represent the table's orientation, the next three show the tilt of the table, the next two show the strength of the shot and the last two show the amount of right spin.
