Side Pocket is widely considered the best billiards game on the NES. Developed by Data East, it offers a realistic pool experience with accurate physics and a sophisticated control system. Players can adjust the aim, power, and spin (English) of the cue ball to perform incredible shots. The main 'Pocket Game' challenges you to clear a specific number of balls to progress, while the 'Trick Shot' mode tests your creativity. With its relaxing jazz soundtrack and smooth gameplay, Side Pocket perfectly captures the atmosphere of a professional pool hall.
