Jimmy White's 2: Cueball - Improvements Over The Original

Improvements Over The Original

A number of features from Whirlwind Snooker were improved upon for Cueball, most notably the graphics. The game makes use of a 3D accelerator card which enables the player to peruse not only the table, but the entire snooker or pool room. The shadows and reflections of the balls are rendered in much more detail, as are the cushions and pockets. The computer player (now represented by a pair of disembodied hands in white gloves) can be viewed from any angle while taking a shot; these hands also visibly replace the coloured balls once potted.

Famous quotes containing the words improvements and/or original:

    A country whose buildings are of wood, can never increase in its improvements to any considerable degree.... Whereas when buildings are of durable materials, every new edifice is an actual and permanent acquisition to the state, adding to its value as well as to its ornament.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    It will be the mistake of your life if you go into print in your own defence [sic]. Your denial will reach a new set of people and start them to talking, while the ones who read the original charges will never see the refutation of them.
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
