I would think that after practicing snooker, pool would be a piece of cake, because of the smaller table and larger pockets, but not really. It’s easier for the AI as well.

Playing against ‘Buster Cluster’ (4th hardest difficulty) – sometimes a single mistake can be fatal, since at that level the AI can, occasionally, pocket all of its balls and the 8-ball in a single visit to the table. Especially if you foul, giving it a ball-in-hand. However, sometimes it goofs up as well.

I played a longish match, and thought I was comfortably ahead, but after a string of bad shots, almost lost it at the end, winning 31-28. A few years back I was better, and could even go toe-to-toe with ‘Bram Stroker’ (3rd hardest difficulty). I don’t think I can do it at this point.

I remember hearing about the 60-60 bug. Tried to reproduce it just now, but it didn’t work. A new game just started. Maybe it doesn’t happen every time?
