After 28 years it's seen better days.
That had Space Invaders on it.
Anything NES or afterwards, including the Gameboy Pocket, is fine because they brought a bit of variety and weren't solely reliant on those high score games

I have a PS4 so yeah when it comes out I'll buy it.
Also hear there will be a Seniors videogame with the Seniors tour coming out in August I think.
Surprised you have a PS4. I had you down more as a Nintendo Switch man.
And yeah, I don't think that seniors game will be selling too many copies.
Why Nintendo Switch?
I'm a huge PS fan, owned the very first one and of course 2, 3 and 4. PlayStation is the best!

I've never owned a video game console in my life. The "gaming" days of my childhood were spent playing funny little arcade games and other delightful free-to-download lumps of weirdness on a sexy blue iMac.

It's a PR coup worthy of Hearn. BBC News!!
I think you get ranking points if you complete the game.

No you only get ranking points if you appear on the cover.

Did somebody step on Roland's foot today, and not apologise? He seems in a bit of a bad mood. No need to criticise the game. I'm not a big gamer, and probably won't play it. But that doesn't make it rubbish. Reaction online suggest that a lot of snooker fans are looking forward to it.
I agree though that the front cover debate is all a bit of a storm in a teacup. I wonder if Mark Williams even cares that much.

He'd probably get some extra cash if they used his image, maybe? Beyond that I doubt he cares.

That's what annoyed me and was the reason why I linked that tweet on here.

It's not even negativity. I mean you're allowed to be negative, there's no law against that.
It's just the way he poops on other peoples work with snark and condescension. Comes across as a idiot, especially as I doubt he knows a single thing about that game. I'm not on Twitter, but if I was I would have said something to him.

Yeah thin so. MJW can be a bit like Ronnie sometimes... tries to create an issue when there really isn't one.

I love Willo. It was a fairytale. His play to take that title was exquisite.
There’s a but. As much as it’s a laugh and yeah beeers and kebabs every day man of the people who cares about exercise let’s have minstrels for dinner.. it’s actually quite damaging for the sport. I can totally understand why World Snooker have downplayed it.

Note for foreign viewers, Minstrels are popular cheap chocolate sweets. I wasn’t inferring Willo tucked into a medieval entertainer.

Has anyone tried out the game yet ? Is there such a thing as player attributes, as in a scaling of potting, breakbuilding, etc ? Is there a best player in the game ?
