Cue Club Download PC

Cue Club, or International Cue Club is a sports simulation video game developed by Bulldog Interactive and released for Microsoft Windows on 10 November 2000. It is a realistic interpretation of pool and snooker. The game was initially published by Midas Interactive, but since 2012 it has been distributed exclusively by Bulldog through the official Cue Club website.

Gameplay

Cue Club uses a fixed, overhead view of the table, with the user's mouse serving as a controller.

The game features a tournament mode, practice mode, quick game, two-player head-to-head, and a bonus "slam" mode where the balls can be hurled around with the mouse. Different rules are available including eight-ball, nine-ball, speed pool, killer and snooker, along with the ability to customize the rules for eight-ball to replicate the game's many variants. A large selection of table designs, ball sets and cues are provided, with settings for fast and slow cloth speeds, and different methods to cue.

The game also features a series of themed 'Virtual Chat Rooms' that the player is free to explore, subject to certain conditions. For example, access may be restricted due to overcrowding, or male players may be turned away if it is already occupied by too many men.

Once inside, players interact by sending chat messages and requesting games through a dialogue box. Often the conversation contains banter and joking. If a match is agreed upon, the challengers go off to play. Winning players are rewarded with an increase in reputation, allowing them to play higher-ranked opponents and progress through the game's various levels. A loss usually involves a reduction in reputation, making it more difficult to get matches in the future, forcing the player to challenge lower-ranked opponents. When the player attains the maximum 5-star reputation, the 'boss' of the chat room will usually agree to a match. By defeating the boss, the player's membership to that room is upgraded from standard to silver, entitling them to additional privileges.
