Play Side Pocket (Japan) on sega Online
Line up your shots, adjust your angle, and sink the balls in order to clear the table and win in this classic pool game on Sega Genesis.
Side Pocket came out for the Sega Genesis in 1992, published by Data East. It was part of that wave of arcade-style sports games that felt right at home on the console, offering a straightforward take on pool without a lot of the fluff you see in later titles.
You control the cue stick, carefully adjusting your angle and power before taking each shot. The main goal is to clear the table of all your designated balls, then sink the 8-ball to win. Two mechanics define the game: the ability to apply English to the cue ball for better positioning, and a power meter that determines the strength of your shot. The game moves at a deliberate pace, demanding patience and precision, especially as the AI opponents get tougher in later stages. It feels satisfying to pull off a complex combination or a perfect bank shot that you planned several moves ahead.
