Billiard reduces the game of pool to its core: a top-down table, cue aiming, and a power meter to calculate every shot, in the tradition of billiards simulators that populated arcades and bars across different eras. It's a genre that stayed almost unchanged for decades thanks to the simplicity of its golden rule: sink the ball in the hole. As a catalog piece it's modest, but it fulfills a social function that shouldn't be underestimated: this kind of game was, above all, an excuse to compete face-to-face with another player in the same arcade.
