The computer-controlled players with the lowest difficulty are all named after staff of Future Publishing-owned Amiga gaming magazine Amiga Power, adding more fuel to the fierce rivalry between the two companies.Ī particular point of humour in the game stems from an Illegal Move message that appears, stating that you have "pocketed your opponent's ball(s)".


The game featured many British and American variations of pool as well as two variations of ball set (standard UK red and yellow, and standard US circles and stripes).Ĭomputer-controlled players are named after members of Team17 Staff (with Creative Director Martyn Brown being the most difficult computer-controlled player). Although simple, the physics are surprisingly accurate. Arcade Pool is a pool simulation game developed and published in 1994 by Team17, initially for the Amiga.
