It's about £5 an hour to rent a table usually, more if you're on one of those pay per play pool tables.

Virtual Pool is still the best PC simulation as far as I know, it also has snooker in it.

Virtual Pool 3 DL.

Best billiards simulation on the planet.

I was looking for something offical a while back, something with huge presentation values and player likenesses.

But theres nothing like that on pc, I feel sadenned to say this but you'll be needing a console really.

For presentation, perhaps.

But for the best Snooker/Pool game, VP3DL is the only option.

I play Virtual Pool 3 and have done for years. It aint free though but deffo worth the money works fine on windows 7 also. I used to be a fan of Jimmy Whites Snooker also back on windows 95 i think it was, also Carom3D is ok for a online Anime pool game.

8 ball pool is decent and multiplayer:

Just saw International Snooker on Steam for about £8. No MetaCritic score though so I'm dubious.

This thread's been dead a while, anyone got any good recent recommendations for a snooker game on PC??

Nice bump! Pool Nation
Currently only a quid on steam too!

Chris [BEANS] · 31 May 2014 at 12:24

Good call! bought....

Gimpymoo · 31 May 2014 at 12:51

Internation Snooker is a good game.

One of the better Snooker games.

Good game and and that price you can't complain!

Omaeka · 31 May 2014 at 13:13

Pool Nation is beyond a steal at a quid.

this_is_gav · 31 May 2014 at 13:14

Does Pool Nation have a Virtual Pool-style mouse control, ie control the power by moving the mouse back and forward?

PinkFloyd · 31 May 2014 at 13:56

Yep, pull back whilst holding left click, move it forward to hit.
