A very early prototype of Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker for the Atari ST.
Notes
- Predates the final build by a year and four months
- Some semblance of gameplay was implemented, including camera rotations and movements, but trying to take a shot crashes the game
- Holding # (' with scancode mapping on Hatari) will reveal a build date with the following text:
THIS COPY TO CHARLES CECIL ON 18.5.90 BY A.M
- Has debugging features
