Virtual Pool 4

VP4 still has no real competitors in 2026. It is a highly realistic simulation, with a ton of game rules, educational material and campaign modes on top. You could spend a lifetime playing this without getting bored. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That said, it still receives substantial updates a decade later. This is Celeris's whole portfolio, and has been for 30 years; not a one-off from some fly-by-night game developer. This is the MS Flight Simulator of billiards. It runs at 120+ FPS at any resolution on a potato and looks fantastic. Every other pool game I've seen or tried has poorer physics, poorer controls, poorer performance, and fewer options. It appears the few competitors that exist want to skip the hard stuff and compete primarily on either the multiplayer experience (something I personally have not tried and have no interest in it), or graphics. On the latter point, believe it or not, there is not much room for improvement: the fact that billiards shapes are mostly mathematical primitives like spheres, planes, and cylinders makes rendering this stuff realistically trivial, they are what GPUs are designed around; slap some nice textures and good lighting on, and there is very little room for graphical improvement. The more "modern" titles use a lot of post processing, environments, and other gimmicks to "sweeten" the look, but this always comes at an unjustified cost to performance and comes across as more "theatrical" than "realistic" (and to my eye it often makes everything look like it's coated in Vaseline and sitting next to a fog machine). I would choose the clean look of VP4 every time, and high framerates are far more important for realism in a game like this than all those gimmicks, anyway. There are certainly improvements that could be made to the UI and other ancillary aspects of the game. More game rules, campaign options, and exercises are always possible and welcome, even though they are already exceedingly copious. But no other game comes close; VP4 is still worth double or triple the asking price, and is unlikely to be superseded by anything but VP5.

perfect old head game

A great, complete sim that runs on low spec & battery power If graphical bells, whistles & arcade battle features were added it would be spoiled

I bought this game specifically to be able to setup specific shots and scenarios, and to play them again and again with different angles and english. The trick shot option in the game allowed me to do this! That alone was enough to justify the price. Great graphics also.

He redescubierto este juego después de probar Pure Pool Pro y ver que la cámara era un completo desastre. (Ojalá lo arreglen). Tenía este juego un poco olvidado y hay que ver lo bueno que es a pesar de ser muy antiguo. Sigue mereciendo muchísimo la pena.

Over a decade of updates. Fun despite my pitiful play time

游戏都挺好，就是没有中文，网上找的汉化包都是1.几的，用不了。只能慢慢研究，英文水平有限，但是为了能打上球，自己慢慢研究英文吧😂

Joya

Incredible physics!!!
