This is Lunar Pool 5 Screw, the early five-screw shell version of FCI's 1987 billiards game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. You get the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual. Check the listing photos to see the exact cart you will receive.
FCI Lunar Pool came to North America in October 1987. Compile developed the game, and Fujisankei Communications International (FCI) published it. In Japan it was called Lunar Ball.
The game mixes pool with ideas from miniature golf. There are 60 levels in total. Miss three shots in a row and you lose a life. The game ends when you run out of lives or clear all 60 levels.
The title comes from the friction setting. You can adjust it to simulate different amounts of gravity, which is where the lunar name comes from. Two players can take turns, or one player can face the computer.
Nintendo built its earliest NES carts with five screws: one in each corner and one in the middle, all standard flathead screws. By 1988 it had moved every game to a three-screw shell with two top notches and security screws. The change is cosmetic, so the Lunar Pool five screw cartridge plays the same game as later copies. Collectors track the shell type, which is why we list it apart from our standard Lunar Pool NES cartridge.
Browse all our NES games, or pair this cart with another early sports title such as 10-Yard Fight. Read more about Lunar Pool on Wikipedia.
