3D Pool - Packaging
The copy on the back of the 3D Pool inlay said:
The first 3-dimensional computer Pool game that lets you view the table from almost ANY ANGLE YOU CHOOSE! Rotate and tilt the Pool table to setup your shot, then crack the cue ball into the pack. You've never seen anything like it!
Stunningly realistic true to life 3D Pool simulation.
Awe-inspiring realtime rotating table.
Super intelligent computer-controlled opponents.
Delicate control of spin, swerve and power.
All the fun of creating your own trick shots.
Pit your wits against Maltese Joe - European Pool champ!
Magazine adverts
The original 3D Pool advert was in the much-used photo style that the Telecomsoft Marketing department was so fond of. The last two formats listed (BBC/Electron and Archimedes) were never released.
The MicroProse advert was very basic (as was the game packaging) and they didn't even bother to list the formats available. Instead they simply declared 'Available on all formats now!' which was extremely ambiguous.
