Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker PC

Jimmy White is another great billiard player who has been honoured to brand with his computer game name. The program itself, prepared by the famous Archer MacLean, is one of the first snooker simulations in which a fully three-dimensional environment was adopted.

Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker quickly gained huge popularity among fans of computer billiards, mainly thanks to full control over the camera, floating freely over the table. The player can rotate, zoom and zoom in and out of the view in order to make better use of the possibilities of hitting the balls. In addition, the game has a powerful arsenal of the ability to cling to the impact. Turning the ball, boosting the ball and the option to show the shot line allows you to plan the action accurately. If we add to this the option of lubricating the tip of the stick with chalk, which is not only cosmetic in nature, we will have a full picture of a perfect simulation of snooker.

Obviously, visual fireworks and the technical possibility of hitting the balls are not the only advantages of the game. The program is faithful to all the rules of real snooker, it also has a large number of configuration options that allow you to play battles with your opponent (several difficulty levels), another player and also freely design the so-called "Trick Shots", i.e. impressive and hooking at the billiard virtuosity of tricks.
