The 2000 Liverpool Victoria UK Championship was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place at the Bournemouth International Centre in Bournemouth.

World Championship Snooker (PlayStation 1, 2000) I felt it was time that I had another look back at one of my favourite classic computer games, and it’s another sport one. I have several snooker/pool games, so I’ve decided to review one of those (now isn’t the time for an “is snooker a sport?” debate), and it’s the PlayStation 1 version of World Championship Snooker so bowties at the ready.

There were various modes in the game, and all the regular rules were applied, which really did make it feel like you were playing the game for real. There were also angle indicators to help you with your break building if you wanted to take a chance at scoring a maximum 147, and there was also a creepy-looking referee who would respot the balls even though he hadn’t taken them out of the pocket. How did he do that? There were also several professional players who were the biggest names in the game at the time that you could play against, including seven-time World Champion Stephen Hendry, who had won just about every competition going in the game, and if you were feeling really ambitious, you could take a computer-generated version of him on in a 35-frame match at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield as if you were competing to be the winner yourself. You could even customise your own player, even down to what colour waistcoat they wore! World Championship Snooker also had a good TV-presentation style to it, which included a scoreboard appearing on the screen, and commentary from Dennis Taylor, who is another person who knows all about winning the World Championship in a memorable style. I remember that World Championship Snooker was also praised by critics at the time for its accurate sound effects.

But I am not referring to the various sounds such as the balls connecting with one another and falling into the pocket, but the various coughs and applause of the studio audience which really created a unique authentic feel. World Championship Snooker was popular enough with fans for there to be some sequels released on various formats including the PlayStation 2 and PC. I have enjoyed watching a lot of snooker on TV over the years, but I am rather useless at playing the actual game myself, so this version was definitely the best alternative for me, and it was good to revisit over 15 years later.

Contents. Overview The first game was simply named ', released in 2000. After the first three games in the franchise, following a change in publisher, in 2004 the name of the franchise was changed to to better reflect the name of the sports tournament body and the actual snooker tournament held every year at the Crucible in Sheffield, England.

In 2005 the games box art featured the snooker player who died in 2006, after a battle with cancer. When the game was re-released as a budget title from Sold-out Software, his image and likeness remained on the cover and in the game but with a notice on the back of the box 'Paul Hunter 1978 - 2006'. The 2007 version of the game was the first World Snooker game to also feature fully licensed tournaments alongside the snooker. Previous versions of the game had pool only as a side game you could play in single matches against the computer or in multiplayer. In the 2007 version of the game you could start a career playing only pool tournaments, cutting out snooker altogether. From 2008 onwards, the games were named WSC Real: World Snooker Championship.

The change in name was due to the more realistic gameplay, and the new ability to play in first person as the game progressed, with opposing players showing emotions, and see shots from any angle.
