Sierra Sports' Maximum Pool is a port of the PC title and the first pool game for the Dreamcast. It features realistic physics and a variety of different tables including: Snooker, Eight Ball, Carom, Nine Ball, Basic Pocket Billiards, Cutthroat, and Rotation. Pool tables created just for this game are Poker, Chameleon Ball, Rocket Ball, 24 Cents, and Mad Bomber. The player's perspective of the pool table can be changed, and small dotted lines are visible making it easier to gauge where each shot will end up. When not playing against a friend there are five video captured opponents to challenge who each have different skill levels and make comments based on gameplay situations.
Maximum Pool includes a variety of gaming options, including Quick Start, which allows you to begin a game with rules identical to the last time you played, as well as single and multiplayer modes. Maximum Pool supports 1-4 Players, and lets players connect for On-Line multiplayer action via the Modem in the Dreamcast. Online play is compatible with both PC and Macintosh users.
