- Konami makes the console game with the most realistic physics model yet.
The Year of FDS is a catalog of the Famicom Disk System, Nintendo's expansion to their Family Computer.
This one really feels like one of those "on the shoulders of giants" moments for a genre. While pool games aren't as popular as other sports, there's a ton to be said for getting the interface, mechanical representation, and overall loop down in a model that others can and will pull from down the road.
I like a nice pool simulation. I'm not looking for accuracy so much as how fun it is to play and the presentation. This game definitely has great presentation. I even love the slow moving introduction with the shadow walking along the street!
Just imagine, without this we never could have gotten Minnesota Fats: Pool Legend
He could have been a Lunar Pool Legend instead!
don't know that I ever got around to this one, but the high praise has me curious! and konami lifting the boxart off of a movie poster? somehow not surprised to learn about that one, hah.
Why don't more pool games have a shot view like that?
The Coriolis rant at the beginning felt like it came from somewhere personal lol. I can relate, somewhat…
And here I was expecting jokes about the game's name being an oxymoron. Wasn't expecting it to actually be good!
Not much to really say, just looks like a decent game of pool and all that.
Stranger, have you played Break-In on PC-Engine? I'm wondering how you'd compare that to this game.
Exciting Billiard is very decent game, that's for sure. Not only for the gameplay, but its presentation is top notch for the time it's been released in.
P.S. I wish there's a Famicom snooker game, that would be awesome (and pretty much impossible to score a century) 😮
I just noticed that the disk you use for the intro and outro has a small casting defect just above the O in Nintendo.
Great video, this is the sort of game I would never think twice about but this made me think about how impressive it is that the game existed for its time
I need to get this out of my system now...
"We've surely got trouble! Right here in River City! With a capital T, that rhymes with P, that stands for 'Pool'!"
We need Kunio-kun!
you are correct: the slow ai is a REAL issue.
Konami and Id both loved doom
