Cue Boy

Cue Boy is an 8-ball pool simulation where players compete against the computer or another human opponent over a series of frames. The table is viewed from top-down and occupies most of the screen. The goal is to legally pocket all of your designated coloured balls (solids or stripes) before finally sinking the black 8-ball—pocketing the black early results in an instant loss of that frame. Players can adjust the cue ball placement, apply spin (English) to the ball, and set the shot strength using on-screen icons. The game includes four CPU difficulty levels and occasional appearances from a comical, big-nosed TV host who comments on your performance.

Commodore 64

Released in 1993 by Codemasters and developed by Reflective Designs, with music composed by Gerard Gourley . The C64 port was released exclusively as part of the tape-only compilation Super Sports Challenge, alongside 1st Division Manager, and was never sold separately . The game displays a small opponent indicator showing which pocket the computer is aiming for. Retrospective reviews note the game feels "barely any better than Pro snooker," describing it as rushed and unfinished with glitches affecting the TV host's animation and a non-functional break score counter, though these issues could partly stem from cracked versions rather than the original tape release . A functional but unpolished pool sim that arrived very late in the C64's commercial lifecycle.
