Side Pocket for SNES


Image: MobyGames

Side Pocket

Good luck. Emphasis on luck


Genre: sports - pool

Publisher: Data East

Year: 1993

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

Simple compared to Championship Pool. This is an arcade game to CP's simulation. Use R and L to pick an angle. 264 possible angles plus a 3x3 grid for picking the English you want to put on it. A fair amount of randomness. I used save states and swear I hit the same shot but it bounces differently.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Only a couple of modes. 1P Pocket Game and a Trick Game. Puts you through a series of challenges rather than a competitive game. Interesting


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

It's a pool game. Pool doesn't make a good video game. Drawings of pretty girls introduce each stage. It's not quite Bubble Babes but also not too far off.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Just the top down view. Very very simple view. The...umm, artwork is impressive.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

Music sounds like something from an 80s sitcom. Kinda weird


Overall Score: 30

Review ID: 491
