Review Side Pocket (3DS eShop / GB)
Dead ball
The great thing about the Virtual Console is that it allows people to experience games that they somehow missed out on the first go around and encourages discovery of forgotten and overlooked gems.

About The Game
The main objective is to cross different USA cities and reach the predetermined scores to go ahead. But remember: you'll have only 16 balls and every error can be lethal!
The game also comes with modes for 2 players with two variants: 2P Pocket Game (the traditional mode) and 2P 9-Ball Game, where the premise is to sink 9 balls before the other player makes them first. If you prefer, test your target in Trick Game or even hear your favorite song in Jukebox.
After each stage is completed (and with some luck), a bonus stage will appear, as well as the chance to earn extra balls. You will only need a good target in the parquet block!

Oh, I have the NES port and the arcade original in Data East Arcade Classics for the Wii. Fun game.
Got it immediately this morning. I have very fond memories of this one
I don't know how I forgot about this game. I sunk so many hours into because it was one of the few games I owned.
