Angle Ball

History of Angle Ball

Angle Ball is a billiards simulator published by Mastertronic Added Dimension in 1987 for the ZX Spectrum and MSX.

This game simulates the traditional game of billiards, but played on a 6-sided hexagonal table. Each time we pass a round we will face a new arrangement of balls placed Machiavellianly on the board. And if you get bored, you can also customize the placement of the balls as you like.

There's nothing more fun than a game of pool, alone or in company. Show your skills and pocket all the balls in one go!

How to play Angle Ball

The aim of the game, whether playing alone or in doubles, is to score as many points as possible by putting the coloured balls into the holes. We can put the balls in any order and in any hole, with the only condition that the black ball must always be the last one. Once the objective has been achieved, we have to repeat the task with the balls placed in different positions.

To execute a shot we must follow a series of steps: First of all, we select the target ball with the cursor, making sure that no other ball gets in the way. The next step is to hit our ball to give it forward or backward movement, or simply to make it take effect. Finally, we only have to establish the force with which we will execute the shot. The more successful shots we hit, the more points we can get.
