Lunar Pool (known as Lunar Ball (ルナーボール, Runā Bōru) in Japan) is a sports video game. It was developed by Compile for the Nintendo Entertainment System and MSX. The game combines pool (pocket billiards) with aspects of miniature golf. The object is to knock each ball into a pocket using a cue ball. The game offers sixty levels, and the friction of the table is adjustable (thus the lunar reference in the title, along with Moon-related background imagery within the game). The game was re-released for the Wii on the North American Virtual Console on October 22, 2007.

Gameplay

Lunar Pool is played in boards of different shapes. The player has to shoot the cue ball to knock other colored balls into the pockets. If the player fails to pocket at least one ball in three consecutive turns, then the player loses one life. If the player pockets their cue ball, they lose a life.

If a player pockets all the colored balls in a level consecutively without failure, the player gets a "Perfect!" remark, and bonus points are added to the player's score.

Modes

Lunar Pool can either be played alone, against another player, or against the computer. If the game is played against another player or the computer, players take turns shooting the cue ball. If one player fails to knock at least one of the colored balls into a pocket, or pockets their own cue ball, then it becomes the opponent's turn.
