Alex Higgins' World Snooker is a 1985 sports video game developed by Gem Software and published by Amsoft for the Amstrad CPC. The game is named after Northern Irish two-time world champion Alex Higgins. An MS-DOS port was released in 1986. It was the first game specifically made for EGA.[4]

Gameplay

The game simulates the cue sport snooker. The game has a single-player practice mode and a two-player mode. The player aims at the ball with a circular cursor and then determines the strength and spin of the shot. The balls can be numbered if the player has a monochrome screen or is unfamiliar with snooker rules.[5] The game can be played with 6 or 10 red balls instead of the full 15.[6]

Reception

CPC464 User called it one of the best games on the system.[8] Amstrad Action said the game isn't as good as Steve Davis Snooker.[6] Amtix described the ball graphics as poor and summarized the game: "Generally a reasonable snooker game but Steve Davis' Snooker presents much better value for money."[7]

Another cue sports game by the same developer and publisher, Alex Higgins' World Pool, was released also in 1985 for the Amstrad CPC.[10] Amstrad Action and Amtix gave the game scores of 51% and 39% respectively.[11][12]
