What On Cue is
On Cue was released in 1987. It was published by Mastertronic's Added Dimension. It is available on Amstrad CPC, Commodore C64/128/MAX and ZX Spectrum.
The premise, in the publisher's words
In On Cue you can enjoy a realistic game of 8-ball pool or snooker against a friend or the computer, with adjustable skill levels. The action is viewed from above, showing the entire table at once. Rules for both games are faithfully reproduced: in snooker, the highest score wins, while in pool, victory goes to whoever pots their set of balls and the black. Before each shot, you position a crosshair to aim, apply spin, and adjust your power using a strength bar—then take your shot with perfect timing. Precision, strategy, and a sharp eye make the difference between a good player and a true cue master.
