The premise, in the publisher's words

Snooker & Pool is a double pack that includes the games Snooker and 8-Ball Pool. The game is shown from a top-down perspective, allowing you to see the entire table. After the white ball is placed in the semi-circle, you can select the desired direction for the shot by positioning a cursor. Optionally, you can also choose an effect for the shot from eight different directions, and the strength of the shot is determined by moving a power meter. The game can be played against the computer (on three difficulty levels: Beginner, Amateur, and Pro) or against another player. Additionally, the game includes an editor to set up trick shots.
