Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Side Pocket
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Taito/Data East
RELEASED:         1992
TYPE:             Sports (billards)
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          Arcade-style billards sim.

IMPRESSIONS:      In my opinion, this is the best pool sim ever made.
                  Flawless gameplay, perfect controls, and quite addictive,
                  too.  There's even a trick shot game.  Too hard for me,
                  but very good if your into pool. (Skyline)

A novel coin-op conversion. You can try to beat the one-player game, play a mate, or show off your skills in the trick game. Smart graphics, great sound and fun gameplay go to make a welcome breath of fresh air. It is only let down by slightly poor collision detection! Followed by a sequel Minnesota Fats Pool Legend, which clearly uses the same game engine!

One of the best genesis games this game does not get old playing pool is so much fun. The graphics are very nice and crisp the sound is pefect the balls smack nicely not in a gross way like your thinking. Also the music is nice and relaxing its a laid back game and i love it great on the nomad too. Evil says 9 out of ten.
