9 Ball Shootout

About

9 Ball Shootout is a 3D pool game for one or two players. Choose between Nine Ball, Eight Ball, or Straight Pool and take on opponents in arcade-style matches. Each victory brings a tougher computer opponent, pushing your skills further. The game’s straightforward controls and physics make it accessible but challenging, especially as the AI adapts to your playstyle. Released in 1993, the game stood out for its 3D visuals and varied pool disciplines during the early '90s arcade scene. While the graphics feel dated now, the core mechanics hold up for quick, competitive play. The single-player progression offers a satisfying test, and local multiplayer keeps matches lively. A niche title that still works for pool fans looking for a retro challenge.
