When the Mac II was first introduced, I saw a pool game demoed at a
local store. It showed the table from above with nice green felt and
accurate ball colors. To strike the balls, you dragged the mouse
back away from the cue ball to create a cue stick as long as needed.
The longer the cue stick, the harder the shot would be hit.
Has anyone else seen this game? I'm getting a Mac IIx and would
like it for my collection. Thanks!

I've seen this listed in Mac Connection's ads. Call them at 1-800-Mac-Lisa. The B&W version of Billiards was PD. I don't know if it works on the Mac II, or even under current system software on any Mac.
