    Deep Pockets: Super Pro Pool

    Deep Pockets - Super Pro Pool and Billiards.txt DEEP POCKETS - SUPER PRO POOL & BILLIARDS INTELLIVISION GAME INSTRUCTIONS Deep Pockets is a unique pool and billiards game - it is actually NINE games in one. You can learn many pocket billiard (pool) and carom billiard games in the privacy and comfort of your own home - and brush up on rules and strategy before venturing out to a billiard parlor. Play against a friend, or practice "against yourself" -- in 1 player games, you control both players 1 and 2. Player 1 will see prompts and scores in RED, and player 2 will see BLUE. (A couple of hints: Use FOLLOW (described below) on break shots to scatter the balls. Also, most of the time you only need to hit shots with about medium strength; use hard shots for long distance shots). CONTROLS: ENTER (keypad): cycle FORWARDS through prompts, register selections. CLEAR (keypad): cycle BACKWARDS through prompts. SPACE BAR: when in SHOOT mode, shoots the cueball. NUMERIC KEYS (keypad): move menu highlighting, move cueball, move aiming "X", move "spin/english" marker If you forget to make a selection, pressing CLEAR will take you back one step for each press of the CLEAR key. On-screen prompts: Deep Pockets coaches you through each step prior to actually shooting your shot. The following are the prompts you may see and what to do: MOVE CUEBALL You will see this prompt prior to the opening break shot, and after any scratch or illegal shot. Each game has different rules regarding where you may place the cueball; some games allow you to place the cueball anywhere on the table, other games require that the cueball be placed behind the "HEADSTRING," or imaginary line across the table at the "HEADSPOT." You move the cueball by pressing the NUMERIC KEYS in the direction you want the ball to move.

    Ourname Tournament

    Living Legends Challenge ike Sigel and Earl Strickland, without a doubt, are “living legends”. Although both players are Hall -of-Famers, Earl has been competing and practicing regularly while Mike has only practiced for this contest. As we all know, both Earl Mand Mike like to talk to anyone who will listen and that’s what they did. Both players were mic’d and were free to express themselves without limitations. The variety of six disciplines: 8-Ball, 9-Ball, 10-Ball, Straight Pool, Banks, and One- Pocket made each player a favorite in several disciplines. As a result, it was an exceptional match that’s worth seeing again. Aramith/SimonisResults for Arena, day John1 Bender and Bill Hendrixson commentating, Sandcastle Billiards, Edison, NJ 1.

The show was the chatter. Clearly Earl looked in form as Sigel struggled. Earl competes and practices regularly while Mike tried to get ready for this challenge match and it showed as Earl dominated the 8-Ball match. The 10-Ball match started out similarly, but a Strickland skid on game ball changed things including a swelling confidence from Sigel. It ended up a squeaker as Mike tied it up at 7-7 yet Earl closed it out at 8-7. Again, the player’s mic’d made it a blast. Straight Pool was the game that all thought Mike had his best chance at turning the tables on Earl.

    Intellivision® Intelligent Television GAME INSTRUCTIONS (For 1 or 2 players) Deep Pockets Super Pro Pool & Billiards Deep Pockets is a unique pool and billiards game – it is actually NINE games in one. You can learn many pocket billiard (pool) and carom billiard games in the privacy and comfort of your own home – and brush up on rules and strategy before venturing out to a billiard parlor. Play against a friend, or practice “against yourself.” In 1-player games, you control both players 1 and 2. Player 1 will see prompts and scores in RED, and player 2 will see BLUE. A couple of hints: Use FOLLOW (described below) on break shots to scatter the balls. Also, most of the time you only need to hit shots with about medium strength; use hard shots for long distance shots. 1 GAME CONTROLS ENTER: cycle FORWARDS through prompts, register selections CLEAR: cycle BACKWARDS through prompts SIDE BUTTONS: when in SHOOT mode, shoots the cue ball DISC: move menu highlighting, move cue ball, move aiming “X”, move “spin/English” marker If you forget to make a selection, pressing CLEAR will take you back one step for each press of the CLEAR key.
