Play Side Pocket (Japan) on sega Online
Neon-lit pool tables, bouncy physics, and smooth jazz—you’ll swear the balls have minds of their own as you line up ridiculous bank shots. The AI suddenly turns ruthless, and versus mode gets gloriously messy.
Game Overview
Side Pocket on the Sega Genesis is like walking into a neon-lit pool hall straight out of the '90s—except you don’t need quarters. The physics are a little wild (balls sometimes bounce like they’ve got springs in them), but that’s part of the fun. You’ll start with simple shots, but before long, you’re angling for bank shots on tables with weird obstacles, all while this smooth jazz track plays in the background like someone left a lounge singer in the corner.
What I love is how it doesn’t take itself seriously. The versus mode gets chaotic fast, especially when you’re trying to mess with your friend’s shots. And that single-player campaign? Weirdly addictive, even when the AI suddenly turns into a pool shark out of nowhere. It’s not a sim—it’s pool with arcade energy, and that’s why it still holds up.
If you miss the days of arcade cabinets or just want something with more personality than your average mobile pool game, this one’s a solid pick. Just don’t blame me when you start hearing that bassline in your sleep.
