Cool to see those NES titles!  I guess you can only do pool so many ways, though.

Isn't there a version that is played on an octagonal table with bumpers in the middle?

Is there?  I don't know.

Here is what a bumper pool table looks like. I just do not know the rules of the game.

Well, first time I've ever seen that!

Those both look very good.  Funny how you have hands but no body on Cueball.  It feels like Rayman is playing!  LOL
