Complete in box: the cartridge, the manual and the box, all original; anything beyond that is included only if you can see it in the photos. For the specifics, look to the photos — they're of this exact item. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.
Item Description
Picture a pool table shaped like a star, a cross or a lopsided ring, with bumpers in the middle and the friction dialed down so the balls glide forever. That is Lunar Pool, Compile's playful billiards game, released in Japan as Lunar Ball in 1985 and published in North America by FCI in 1987.
Its sixty tables come in all sorts of odd shapes, some with obstacles in the way, so every stage plays like a cross between pool and miniature golf. You aim the cue ball, set your power and watch it ricochet. The friction setting changes how quickly the balls slow down, a nod to the lunar theme, and turning it low makes every shot a long chain reaction. Miss on three shots in a row or sink the cue ball and you lose a life, while a scoring rate climbs with every shot that drops a ball, rewarding clean, consecutive play.
Two players can go head to head, or you can take on the computer, and you can jump straight to a favorite table or work through all sixty in order. Compile later built a big following with Puyo Puyo and its shooters, and this is an early, charming example of the studio's knack for simple ideas that are hard to put down.
In a library dominated by action games, Lunar Pool is a quiet, relaxing change of pace, the kind of cartridge you pick up for one table and put down an hour later, and its strange table shapes still give it a personality no straight pool simulation has.

About the game
Lunar Pool is the first advanced home video billiards game ever. Never before has the player been able to choose among 60 different "tables." Jump around to your favorite, or master each stage consecutively. Your score is kept automatically. You set up the electronic cue stick, aim the cue ball, choose the power you need and shoot! Then watch the ball ricochet around the "table" and land in the pocket. Learn to be a "hustler" by mastering all 60 stages (an expansion over the original PC-8801 32 stages).
