Trick Shot

Trick Shot is a pocket billiards video game released for the Atari 2600 by Imagic in 1982. It was designed by former Atari programmer and Imagic vice president, Dennis Koble. It was the first game Koble developed with Imagic, and one of the company's three debut games, along with Demon Attack and Star Voyager. Players can choose between several paired down varieties of pool, each with only three target balls. There is also a trick shot mode that provides nine challenge rounds. Koble attempted to simulate realistic ball physics but failed due to the technical limitations of the Atari 2600. Critics consider it to be a well made game but not quite as appealing as other Imagic titles.
