Side Pocket (NES) Playthrough

Description :

In this playthrough of Data East's 1987 pool game Side Pocket for the NES, I quickly run through the trick shot training before jumping into the main Pocket mode at 5:11. Side Pocket was a hit in arcades in 1986 and was adapted for the NES in 1987, where it received warm reception and became a bestseller. The NES version retains all arcade features and adds a score‑based progression system, four distinct stages, trick shot bonus rounds, interstage cutscenes, and a proper ending. It also introduces multiplayer support for 9‑ball and pocket games. The game remains fast, fun, and challenging, with improved presentation that makes it a standout classic of the late 80s.
