Play Side Pocket (Europe) Online
You chalk up in dive bars, nudging balls with pixel-perfect precision while a smoky jazz track hums in the background—miss by a hair and you’re buying the next round.
Game Overview
Side Pocket on the NES is one of those games that makes you feel like you should be wearing fingerless gloves and chain-smoking in some dimly lit pool hall—except you're just on your couch. The physics are way better than you'd expect from an 8-bit game, and lining up shots actually takes some thought. Miss by a pixel, and that ball’s going nowhere.
You start off in these grungy little bars, working your way up to fancier joints as you clear tables. There’s a timer, so you can’t just sit there forever agonizing over angles—which, honestly, adds to the pressure. And that soundtrack? Pure late-night jazz, like someone recorded a smoky basement club and shoved it into a cartridge.
It’s not just about sinking balls, either. Some tables have weird layouts or obstacles, so you’ve gotta get creative. I still remember the first time I pulled off a three-bank shot and actually made it. Felt like a pool shark for about five seconds… until the next table wrecked me.
If you’ve got a soft spot for retro sports games, this one’s a surprisingly deep time capsule.
