Virtual Pool is the definitive pool simulation game that actually teaches novice players how to play and even promises to improve the game of the pool shark. Developed by a team of physicists and professional pool players, Virtual Pool brings the game to life with the highest degree of accuracy. Balls roll, skid, collide and move on a fully rendered 3D controlled pool table that mirrors reality.

Virtual Pool has revolutionary features that allow players to actually 'walk' around the table to check out their next shot, take a closer look, back away, look left or right and then line-up the shot like they would in a real game with a real table. This title also allows players to take an overhead view from above, something unavailable in a real pool game!

Taking game tips from World Champion pool player "Machine Gun" Lou Butera is guaranteed to improve the player's game. "Machine Gun" Lou will teach players over 30 famous trick shots the player can practice on their computer screen and then implement on a real table.

Virtual Pool brings into the game all the physics of live pool and calculates friction, cushion response and cue ball spin for accurate game play.

Four Great Pool Games played by Professional Rules:

• Eight-Ball
• 9 Ball
• Straight Pool
• Rotation
• Plus practice mode and Trick Shots!

Pool aficionados have the ability to play head-to-head with other players via modem or network play to truly create a virtual pool hall! Players can practice their shots using the tracking lines to see the path of every ball before shooting and see a full view of the table from any angle. Players may also set up and aim with amazing accuracy by moving the cue tip for follow, draw and spin shots, or raise the cue stick for curves and masse shots or just a little english.

Renegade Racers - When Buck Billionaire issues a call to all renegades around the world to participate in his Renegade Racing adventure, he receives more responses than he can believe. It seems everyone considers themselves to be a renegade of some form or another. From tens of thousands of entries Buck selects twelve invitees from such diverse places as America, England, Jamaica, the Russian Federation, Transylvania, and India.

Each feels that they're a renegade from their chosen profession and/or lifestyle. And they each believe that winning the race is the solution to their renegade status, a way to bring themselves back in line with their homes, professions, or peoples.

So, here's your chance to choose your favorite character and make waves like never before. Put the pedal to the metal and beat your opponents with raw speed and skill. Or, if that doesn't work, just blow 'em out of the water!
