Pool Game

Pool Game is a two player game made for demonstration purposes to promote raster screen displays. A later version used vector displays. It was first shown at the Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco in the fall of 1966. Players compete against each other in a game of pool. The light pen is used to move the cue stick and hit the balls to try to pocket them; it's possible to apply sideways spin (english) to the balls. The game keeps score.
