Best Free Billiards and Pool Game [in development]

This review is in development - please add your suggestions in the comments - or volunteer to take over this category

 Here is a game that is for all ages, and you can enjoy it using just the keyboard.

I am not a computer games player, but none the less I downloaded it as I have in the past enjoyed a good 
game of pool.  And, found to my amazement I was getting hooked onto this.  Not too much of a large 
download especially for those on dial up (haven't forgotten you folks), the details are excellent and it offers
two games, 9 ball and 8 ball.   The good thing is, that it will work on ALL Operating Systems.

When you have loaded it up it offers training and help files.  Not being a gaming man I don't have a joystick,
but it doesn't take long to get a hang of how to control it with a keyboard.  The 'F' keys allow you quick
access to all the views of the table including a plan view (which is F2).   How hard you hit the white ball
depends on how long you keep your finger on the spacebar and there is a visual display in white on the right
which has reduced opacity allowing it not to interfere with your view of the table and the rest of the balls.

Set up the size of the screen and name your players.  In SETUP I couldn't get the AUDIO to work, but I did
increase the definition of the visual elements and increase the lighting by another lamp.  Off course you set
the definition to what your computer is capable of.  It is set also in three languages, German, English and
Spanish

To see this put this together would be amazing, just think of all the calculations you have to do to assess how
hard the ball has to go and how much bounce it has to have from the cushions.  Mind blowing.  However,
that does bring me to a few negatives.  I am no expert but I do consider that when the balls hit the cushion 
they are bouncing around too much, especially around the pockets and I was awarded foul shots stating 
that I had hit the wrong ball when I hadn't.  The foul shot thing doesn't happen all the time, so its nothing to get
too irritated about, but it does especially happen when you just touch the coloured ball very lightly.  The final 
point is that I suspect that a joystick would give you more finesse as I couldn't get the accuracy of angle that
I always wanted.  But, these negatives don't spoil the enjoyment I have from this game.

All in all an excellent FREE software to enjoy for all ages, including us oldies who wish to have the room to
have a billiard table and of course the money.
