Game 8 Ball Billiards Classic

One cue ball, six pockets. In 8 Ball Billiards Classic you pot your own before your opponent does, whether that's the computer or another person on the same device.

You play either spots or stripes. Hit the cue ball with the cue and, with the right angle and force, send a coloured ball into a pocket. You have to clear yours before the other side does. Difficulty is chosen at the start, and if you raise it and win, the bonus points are bigger.

Aim carefully. Zoom helps you adjust the spin on the cue ball, and you drag the cue back to set the power.

The cue ball comes first

Hitting a striped ball directly isn't a valid shot as the game describes it. First the cue ball, then your ball, then the pocket. Spin set wrongly opens the ball up and leaves the shot to your opponent. Face to face you take turns, and against the computer it takes your turn if you miss.
