Billiards has always been a game of ultimate skill and confidence. Unfortunately, it can be pretty embarrassing when you never get a chance to line up the cue ball, as a skilled opponent runs the table before your eyes. MAXIMUM POOL will give Dreamcast owners a chance to develop skill at 12 different types of billiards, including 8-Ball, 9-Ball, Cutthroat, Rotation, Pocket Billiards, Snooker and Carom, against five computer opponents of differing ability levels. These video-captured opponents aren't quiet, though; some will offer tips, while others will try to throw you off your game with snide comments and one-liners.
