I’d like to have recommendations that anyone might have for a pool game I can download. I have Windows 7 Home Premium with Firefox as a browser. Prefer free but will pay if I have to----

Thanks for any and all recommendations.

Thank you. Do you have any direct experience with Steam?

Thanks; I’m not a gamer and hadn’t heard of Steam before now. I did buy the pool game and I appreciate your recommendation.
