Lunar Pool (known as Lunar Ball (ルナーボール, Runā Bōru) in Japan) is a sports video game. It was developed in 1985 by Compile for the NEC PC-8000 series (in Japan), the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES, in Japan, North America, and Europe), and the MSX (in Japan), and re-released for the Wii on the North American Virtual Console on October 22, 2007. The game combines pool (pocket billiards) with aspects of miniature golf. The object is to use a cue ball to knock each object ball into one of the pockets on pool tables of various shapes. The game offers sixty levels, and the friction of the table is adjustable. Lunar Pool was distributed by Pony Canyon in Japan and Fujisankei Communications International in North America.

Gameplay:
Lunar Pool is played on virtual pool tables of different shapes, some with obstacles within them. The player must shoot the cue ball to knock other colored object balls into the pockets. One life is lost whenever the player either fails to pocket an object ball on three consecutive shots or pockets the cue ball. Completing a level awards one extra life, or two if the player has pocketed at least one ball on every shot.
 
The value of each ball is determined by its number and the displayed "Rate" value, which starts at 1 and increases after every shot in which the player pockets at least one ball. Failing to do so resets the Rate to 
1. Bonus points are awarded for completing a level without a miss.

The game ends after all lives are lost or 60 levels have been completed, whichever occurs first.

This is a small glimpse of game VS computer in the Nintendo Entertainment system version of the game.
