Game Description
Virtual Pool brings the feel of the pool hall right into your living room, offering one of the most realistic billiards simulations ever released on the PlayStation 1. Designed with precision physics and a true-to-life 3D engine, this game allows players to master the art of the cue in a variety of pool games—from 8-ball and 9-ball to straight pool and billiards. Whether you're perfecting your break or pulling off bank shots, Virtual Pool is built for players who crave accuracy and a serious challenge.
Developed by Celeris, the title is not only visually smooth but mechanically deep, with advanced shot control including English, follow, draw, and jump shots. Combined with realistic table friction and ball response, it’s the closest you’ll come to shooting pool without a cue in your hand.
Gameplay Features
- Multiple game types including 8-ball, 9-ball, straight pool, and rotation
- True 3D environments with dynamic camera angles and zoom control
- Realistic physics engine for accurate ball spin, collisions, and motion

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Virtual Pool was originally developed for PC and gained acclaim for its groundbreaking pool simulation. The PlayStation version retained much of its authenticity and introduced console players to one of the earliest serious sports sims available on the platform. Notably, the game's physics were so accurate that some real-life pool players claimed it helped improve their actual game. Celeris would go on to expand the series with several sequels, keeping its reputation as a premier virtual pool experience alive.
