I'm a fan of the old title Virtual Pool 3. But over the past two weeks, I have spend much time with FooBillard 3.0, which is free.

http://foobillard.sourceforge.net/

If you have any interest in a decent billard simulation, try this one. For no money, you can't go wrong. I have learned to like it very much. The sim delivers a physically sufficiently solid gaming experience, and looks very nice. It's the best pool sim I know beside VP3.

It also includes a real 3D mode to be used with green-red glasses. Note that due to it's age, I mean red and green for sure, not the contemporary cyan-violet glasses we have these days - with the latter, it does not function.

The sim knows 8-ball, 9-ball, Carambolage, and Snooker. Table size and table themes can be varied. Human-human, human-AI, tournament mode. AI with 5 skill levels. Good zoom and angle control, birdview, English (=effet).
