Hi there,

Does anyone have a copy of Maximum pool they want to sell, or know of any pool games for OS X? I've searched high and low, and there doesn't seem to be a single pool game for OS X- ppart from the discontinued Maximum Pool by Sierra/ Macsoft. I'd be more than happy to buy this off of someone if they have it- I'm at the end of my tether. and Virtual Pool doesn't run very well at all in Classic.

If anyone knows of a game, or has one to sell, please let me know!

Thanks,

Chris

that's one of the most buggy pool games I've tried... if the developer is only a hobbyist, I'd suggest at least not giving it a 1.00 version number.

EDIT: I hope it turns out to be a great game, but it certainly isn't there yet, and it isn't worthy of a 1.x version number unless this really is what can be expected from this game.

gtkpool is installable via fink. not a spectacular pool game, and it is 2d. good enough for a time-waster, not good enough if you really like pool video games.
