I'll start this off with a clip i just recorded after playing a few racks on the first pool game i played, Cue Ball.

Endorsed by Alex "Hurricane" Higgins it was a must have for any snooker fan.

This thing was state of the art in its day believe me! (but it may explain why i play like i do now..)

In the USA this game was sold as 'BankShot' by Parker Brothers.

May look primitive in the extreme today, but still really good fun to play!

Anyone else have one?
