Lunar Pool

About this game

Lunar Pool is a sports video game. It was developed in 1985 by Compile for the NEC PC-8000 series, the Nintendo Entertainment System, and the MSX, and re-released for the Wii on the North American Virtual Console on October 22, 2007. The game combines pool with aspects of miniature golf. The object is to use a cue ball to knock each object ball into one of the pockets on pool tables of various shapes. The game offers sixty levels, and the friction of the table is adjustable. Lunar Pool was distributed by Pony Canyon in Japan and Fujisankei Communications International for the rest of the world.

Lunar Pool is the first advanced home video billiards game ever. Never before has the player been able to choose among 60 different "tables." Jump around to your favorite, or master each stage consecutively. Your score is kept automatically. You set up the electronic cue stick, aim the cue ball, choose the power you need and shoot! Then watch the ball ricochet around the "table" and land in the pocket. Learn to be a "hustler" by mastering all 60 stages (an expansion over the original PC-8801 32 stages).
