Jimmy White’s Whirlwind Snooker on the Genesis is one of those games that nails the feel of the sport without overcomplicating it. The controls are simple—just aim, adjust power, and shoot—but the physics make every shot satisfying when you pull off a tricky bank or sink a long pot. The AI isn’t a pushover either; even on medium difficulty, you’ll get punished for sloppy positioning.

What surprised me was how well the game holds up. The table looks clean, the balls roll naturally, and there’s just enough tension when you’re lining up a shot. It’s not flashy, but it doesn’t need to be. If you’ve ever spent an afternoon watching snooker on TV and thought, "I could do that," this is your chance to prove it—or realize how hard it actually is. A solid pick for sports sim fans.
