Reviews for Steve Davis Snooker (#4896)

Review by arda on 13 Mar 2011 (Rating: 5)

I don't know what's special with this Snooker game, except that it was written by mike lamb. But this game is not "another" snooker game, it is actually very good.

There are many, many snooker games on zx spectrum, but none of them this famous. It's famous not only because it's very well advertised (notice "Steve Davis" label) also very good programmed too. I remeber having fun with this game for days. It is very playable and collisions are realist enough to be played scientifically :)

I give it a 5 points because of clean interface, quick and actually entertaining gameplay.

It's not comperable with today's 3d snooker games, but it's still playable if you can cope with 8bit graphics.

I'm terrible at this game but it is well programmed and I don't recall playing a better snooker game than this one. Much more fun with two players rather than yourself as you can't play against the computer.

Not sure if this is the best snooker game on the Spectrum, I haven't played them all, but it deserves a place near the top. I remember being impressed with it's realism, it was 1984 after all, and it looked so professional. An early example of good programming, if only all games were written like this.
