The object
The object
It includes many British and American variations of pool as well as two variations of ball set (standard UK red and yellow, and standard US circles and stripes). Computer-controlled players are named after members of Team17 Staff (with Creative Director Martyn Brown being the most difficult computer-controlled player). The computer-controlled players with the lowest difficulty are all named after staff of Future Publishing-owned Amiga gaming magazine Amiga Power, adding more fuel to the fierce rivalry between the two companies.
