Lunar Pool NES is a billiards game developed by Compile and published in North America by FCI in October 1987. It mixes pool with elements of miniature golf across 60 different tables. This listing is the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.
The game has 60 levels, each a table with its own layout. Play continues until you lose all your lives or complete all 60 levels.
Lives are the core rule. You lose one after missing three shots in a row or after pocketing the cue ball. Clearing a level earns an extra life, and you earn two if you pocketed at least one ball on every shot.
The name comes from the friction setting. You can adjust the table's friction to simulate different gravity levels, which is where the lunar theme comes from. In Japan, the same game came out on December 5, 1985, under the title Lunar Ball.
Collectors track two shell types for this Lunar Pool cartridge: a 5-screw version and a 3-screw version. The game inside is the same. We sell the 5-screw shell as a separate listing, so check the photos on this page to see the exact cartridge you will receive.

AWESOME POOL GAME!!!
I can’t believe no one else has reviewed this game! As I recall there are 50 different table designs, each with 2 different ball arrangements: octagons, Z-shapes, bumpers, to name just a few! You can change the gravity so that balls move faster/slower. 1 or 2 players. This game was ‘a blast in the past’, and I’d buy it if I had an NES!

ok
I liked the game, but if you put it close to your nose it can smell like cat urine..
