Thanks for quick response. Am I blind as well as daft? I have read the review over again and find no reference to unlocking it. Sorry folks but am I missing something here?

Well that part isn't mentioned in the review. But to unlock it (to bypass the security code question even without the manual) press ENTER (just don't type anything).

Sorry, Sebatianos, tried that and still I get the "fail" message after 3 attempts. I'm going to bed now. Back in the morning. Thanks for your help so far.

That's really strange. I never encountered that problem before (and didn't even need to crack the game myself). Are you using the file we havgot here? You need to download it, extract it and play it in either real DOS or DOSBox: the game is not compatible with Windows XP (maybe that's the problem?).

Yes, I downloaded it from here and I'm using XP but running the game in dosbox.
I can'y understand it.

Hi,

download the dosbox 6.3 from this same site and run the game from here.
There are instruction etc to get this set up.

Just a quick question, I played this game about 15 years ago and I know there is a cheat where you can view the flight lines of the cue and object ball (easy to pot option :crazy: ). Does anyone know what it is?

thanks

i'm not sure if its what you mean but if my memory serves me correctly if you right click the help button it automatically lines up the next shot for you with the correct power and spin. there was also a cheat to get the computer to hit a 147 break for you and you could just sit back and watch it at work but i can't remember what it was. it didn't always manage the maximum either

oh man this game is great.

Easily beats the modern 'World Championship Snooker' series

I found a solution to it needing a code. Run it from dosbox using the file "snooker.bat"

There are .exe files there that are not cracked.

I'm also having the same problem- this requires a codeword. It gives you
3 attempts and then the screen locks up with coloured bands (obviously
its protection). Pressing return/enter just gives you: 2 attempts left, 1 attempt left etc..

Tis a shame, I used to love this on the amiga- especially the smiley snooker balls complete with flies buzzing round :-(
