Hi, I’m an old fart and looking for a good game of pool and billiards that I can play on my computer. Nothing too fancy, just a good basic game to take up my time.

[247 Games](https://www.247pool.com/) has the only one I know of. All they have is 8 ball and the English you can put on the ball doesn’t really work that well but it’s a decent game.
