Professor Gull Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Found this at the game store today and said sure why not I like pool games. I thought it was a nice $10 find. No idea how it plays yet but still nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Yeah, don't think I ever played this one as well. Came out rather late IIRC but I had a blast playing Side Pocket BITD! Best pool game I've ever played and very similar to the pool game in Family Games for the Master System. Minnesota Fats looks real nice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Well it pretty much IS just SIDE POCKET with the Minnesota theme added, perhaps they thought it would make it more desirable to Pool fans. Side Pocket has always been my go to Pool Game on NES / Genesis. First time I encountered it staying over at a friends back in the day, I ended up pretty much playing it all night lol. Nice purchase. Funny ever since I got into Everdrives / Flashcarts I started giving away / trading / selling original carts but SIDE POCKET (NES / Genesis) along with Mr. Do! (Colecovision) are two originals I will never part with since they just have too many good memories associated with them. Anyway, nice pickup imho, looks to be in great shape Edited March 9, 2017 by OldSchoolRetroGamer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hecmeister Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Pool games weren't exactly a hot genre then, or now for that matter. I always was a fan of pool games, maybe cause I am horrible at the real thing but decent in game lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So after a few hours I think its a keeper. I was just more amazed to find it in such good shape. Those cardboard boxes are hell to keep decent.

FOX2600 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 One of the more unique Pool games, despite rarity. That cardboard box is immaculate. Cool find! Such an interesting character to have his own game, and on a late release genesis title of all places! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Super mint! Enjoy. I still need to track down a copy of Side Pocket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Gull Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Super mint! Enjoy. I still need to track down a copy of Side Pocket I found one for NES if that's your thing. Personally The Genesis had a superior version if I recall right though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
