Side Pocket is a pool game from Data East
The player has to get all the balls in each level and is awarded extra points
for making consecutive shots at the end of each level. We have 3 balls per game
and a time limit as well, but the time can be extended by putting a ball in a
pocket that has a star flashing that turns into a clock. Other times, shooting
the ball into the star pocket gives the player many bonus points, and sometimes
it may even give an extra ball. There are bonus stages every now and then, where
the player has a chance to make a more difficult shot and is awarded
the displayed amount of points if successful. The player has control of what
part of the cue the stick will hit when shooting.
