Play Jimmy White’s ‘whirlwind’ Snooker (dos) Online

Jimmy White's 'Whirlwind' Snooker is a snooker simulation video game released in 1991 for the MS-DOS platform. It was developed and published by Virgin Games, Ltd. The game presents a first-person perspective of the snooker table, aiming to replicate the sport in a digital format.

Players control a cue to take shots in matches governed by standard snooker rules, which can be played alone or with a second participant. The primary objective is to outscore an opponent by potting balls in the correct sequence. Progression involves competing against a series of four computer opponents named Tom, Dick, Harry, and Jimmy, with the latter modeled after the professional player Jimmy White and representing the most challenging adversary. Core gameplay systems include shot execution, where players adjust power and apply spin to the cue ball through an on-screen menu, and table management, which requires periodically applying chalk to the cue tip to prevent miscues. The game also features a dedicated trick shot mode, offering pre-arranged table scenarios with specific instructions for players to replicate complex shots.
