Prebillian

Prebillian is a two-player sports game released in 1986 by Kaneko and Taito that presents a unique twist on billiards within a futuristic setting. Players use dials to control their cues and attempt to sink balls into the target areas, maneuvering around obstacles displayed on screen. The visuals create an unusual atmosphere distinct from traditional pool games, offering a novel experience for players seeking something different than standard arcade fare. Gameplay involves aiming and striking the cue ball with precision to guide other balls towards designated scoring zones. Each player competes against their opponent, striving to accumulate points through successful shots. Three buttons are available for each player to use in conjunction with dial control, adding another layer of complexity to shot execution. The game utilizes a Zilog Z80 processor and sound chips from General Instrument and a custom manufacturer, creating the auditory and visual experience players encounter while competing head-to-head.
