Play Hardcore Pool (E)(sUppLeX) Online
You line up shots with actual weight and spin, nudging the cue just right—feels shockingly close to real pool for a GBA screen. The AI actually makes you think two shots ahead.
Hardcore Pool was a Game Boy Advance release from 2004, developed by Neko Entertainment and published by Oxygen Interactive. It arrived during a period when the GBA library was diversifying, offering more simulation and sports titles alongside the usual platformers and RPGs. This game stood out simply by being a dedicated pool simulator on a handheld, a rarity at the time.
You control the cue stick, carefully aligning shots with a top-down view of the table. The main objective is to clear the table by pocketing all your designated balls, then sinking the 8-ball to win. Key mechanics include applying precise English to the cue ball for spin, adjusting shot power with a meter, and planning angles for multi-shot setups. The AI provides a steady challenge, forcing you to consider defense and not just offense. It feels surprisingly tactile and thoughtful for a portable pool game.
