Biliardo – A free, all-Italian video game for true billiards fans. Not to be missed!
Anyone who loves the noble sport of billiards absolutely cannot miss this month’s game. Made entirely in Italy and distributed free of charge by its author, Marco Chiesi, this program will amaze you with its completeness. It lets you play the finest and most traditional specialities: 5 Pins, Goriziana, Carom and even Bowls; it’s rare to find software that includes all these options. What strikes you most, though, is certainly the care with which the game has been designed. You can play in practice mode or play a match with a friend. Billiards, as everyone knows, is the game of precision and calm par excellence, perhaps together with chess. The game overlooks no detail, letting you set the strength of the shot, the spin and the point where you strike the ball with the utmost precision. You’ll be amazed by the realism of this game. If you don’t have time to finish a gripping match, you can save it and continue it later, as well as checking the game statistics.
