Billiard Academy Real Break
台球学院：真实破台
Billiard Academy Real Break is an arcade billiards action game released by Nakanihon in 1998. Players use a joystick and buttons to aim and control shot power across a variety of pool-based challenges. The game supports two-player simultaneous play, allowing head-to-head competition. Rather than a strict tournament structure, it offers multiple billiards modes and trick shot scenarios that test precision and angle judgment. The physics simulate cue ball spin and deflection, giving shots a degree of realism. Players select from different characters or modes, each presenting distinct rule sets. The arcade cabinet format keeps matches fast-paced, with rounds designed to fit the coin-op environment. Nakanihon targeted billiards enthusiasts and casual arcade players alike with this 1998 release.
