WizardWorks to release pool game next month
by Jason Ocampo

WizardWorks plans on releasing its 3D pool simulation, Real Pool, next month. Calling it "the most realistic pool game ever," WizardWorks says the game incorporates photo-realistic graphics, sophisticated physics, and multiplayer capability. It will feature six games, including 8-Ball, 9-Ball, Straight, Rotation, Carom (Spanish) Billiards, and Bumper Pool.

The game’s physics will take into account factors such as speed, friction, top-spin, side-spin, bottom-spin, banking, and collisions. It will have a retail price of $19.99.

The last pool game released for the PC was VR Sports’ Virtual Pool 2, which appeared last year. In addition, Psygnosis is currently working with KASSON Manufacturing, a pool table manufacturer, on an upcoming pool game scheduled for next year.
