I thought potting the black from the break off is an immediate rerack? May also be against the laws of physics if they are set up correctly but don't quote me on that. I have seen that trick shot where all the balls and the black get potted from a break, but sadly it's just an immediate rerack even if you do that ;)

Anyway

Can't remember exactly. It was 34 years ago.

I beat Steve Davis at pool.


THAT is what is important here.

Well it's definitely a bug that then :)
5. If the Eight-Ball is potted on any break, the balls are re-racked and the same player will break again. When the Eight-Ball is potted on the break, all other aspects of the shot are ignored. (Except if a breach of the “Spirit of the Game” occurs).
Unless the Ginger Magician breached the "Spirit of the Game" of course.

1. Target Renegade - everything Double Dragon should have been
2. Steve Davis Snooker - probably the best snooker/pool game on the Speccy
3. Robocop

The correct game wins this, it's Target: Renegade with 19 votes right at the top!

And yeah, the nearly-as-good one in the Renegade series, that'll be Renegade, is justifiably is in the second place - 12 votes.

Robocop is third placed, 7 votes.

WEC Le Mans is fourth, 6 votes.

Batman: The Movie is sixth, 3 votes.

Joint seventh: Arkanoid; Arkanoid - Revenge Of Doh (or 'Arkanoid 2' if you like); Combat School and Pool. 2 votes each.

Joint eighth: Steve Davis Snooker (the 48K version of course) and Winged Warlords - 1 vote each.

It's pretty similar on the proportional votes:

Target: Renegade by Imagine 34
Renegade by Imagine 28
Robocop by Ocean 19
Batman: The Movie by Ocean 10
WEC Le Mans by Imagine 9
Steve Davis Snooker by CDS Microsystems 7
Arkanoid - Revenge Of Doh by Imagine 6
Arkanoid by Imagine 4
Combat School by Ocean 1
Pool by CDS Microsystems 1
Winged Warlords by CDS Microsystems 1

Nobody in either poll gave Top Gun any attention whatsoever.
