Steve Davis Snooker was also an unofficial sequel to CDS Software's 1983 Pool simulator, called "Pool." "Steve Davis Snooker" allows players to play against themselves, or against a human opponent in either Snooker, or Pool. However, there is no opponent AI. The game could be controlled by either a Joypad or a Cursor and Keyboard control scheme. The game has two different modes, with a "short game" (a game of Ten-Red Snooker similar to power snooker), or "long game", a game of traditional fifteen-red Snooker. The Atari game's box art boasts that the game has a "trick shot edit mode", "accurate spin", and
Mark Bennett (snooker player) Peter Ebdon 5–3, Chris Small 5–0, Steve Davis 5–3 (from 0–3 down) and Tony Drago 5–1, before losing 3–6 to Euan Henderson in the semi-finals after having led 3–1 at the interval. His quarter-final against Drago was particularly memorable for Drago hurling his cue at the table and storming out of the arena at the end of the match, with Drago later accusing Bennett of bad sportsmanship because Bennett, who had trapped Drago in a snooker that yielded 24 points in the final frame, suggested twice to the referee that he thought Drago had missed the red ball on purpose.
