Break Time: The National Pool Tour is a sports game released in 1993 for the Nintendo NES. The game centers around professional-style pool, aiming to simulate the experience of competitive billiards through a series of tournaments and challenges.
The main objective in Break Time: The National Pool Tour is to compete in various pool matches, advancing through a national tour by winning games against AI opponents. Players must carefully plan their shots, using strategy and precision to pocket balls and win frames. The pace is deliberate, requiring thoughtful aiming and cue control rather than fast reflexes.
A distinctive feature of the game is its attempt to replicate realistic cue sports physics and shot control on the NES platform. This includes the ability to adjust shot power, spin, and angle, adding depth to the gameplay. The focus on a national tournament structure gives the game an unusual emphasis on progression and competition within the pool genre.
