Now don't get me wrong here, I enjoy snooker. I can watch it, I can play it and I've attended the Northen Ireland Trophy the past two years, so I can tolerate with snooker's slow pace. But NO WAY should a snooker management game exist. It's just wrong. Everything totally drags and gets boring pretty quickly, especially if you can't get into any of the tournaments and are forced to play 'celebrities' every week. For the extreme die-hard fan only, otherwise don't waste your precious hours on this.

Sure it's boring as heck but it's far more like Snooker than the other management game Snooker Manager, so much so that you can almost call this "realistic". Best to play this at a faster speed on your emulators.

Sometimes things dont turn out like we expected.
I remember being quite good in developing graphics and animations for the games I wrote, I've always payed a lot of attention to the aesthetic detail, so someone who first saw one of my games would exhale a wow. Well, before playing it...

The guys at D&H like me also payed attention to detail, especially in the strategy department. But sometimes things just don't work out right.
I remember writing a stock exchange game, where you would buy stocks and then sell them and earn money to buy and sell more stocks, the game had lots of menus and special options (mostly useless) and looked very nice, but that was it, buy and sell stocks.
Well 'Snooker Management' was their stock exchange game.

The game looks very good, with a pleasant presentation, lots of options and very well executed routines, but no one wants to 'read' the snooker action scenes. And if you choose the final score option, then you would be better playing a football strategy game.
Basically a bad idea, well executed technically, but not particularly appealing.
