Play Pool on the Mac


MacPool 9.0 for Mac OS X

We happen to love baKno's MacPool 9.0 -- an extremely entertaining computer simulation of the popular 9-ball, 8-ball and 14:1 pool games. Snooker and 3-balls billiards are also included as add-ons to the game. Combined with its sleek design, realistic physics, user options as well as online gaming, MacPool is sure to offer engaging game play for all ages.

Version 9.0 adds a new online game mode called "deferred match mode" which allows to play remotely against any person with an email address. Matches are accessed via a simple URL, they are updated as the gamer plays, and they are easy to share using the same URL.
