Anyone knows if there is a good top-down pool type of game (top down, not 3d) for the MAC, something similar to Arcade Pool on MAC/Amiga?

Thanks :)

Not sure if it's available on the Mac (and don't really have time to check sorry) but Bankshot Billiards 2 on the Xbox is great, if there's a Mac version check it out. It's kinda 3D and kinda 2D. Worth a look if there is a Mac version.

As for Bankshot biliards, it seems to be a 360 game only :(

It's pretty old, released in 2000. Looks like you might be able to get a copy from Amazon (http://www.dealtime.com/xPC-Sierra-Sports-Maximum-Pool). (The Mac version is on the same CD as the Windows version)

Are you sure that the Mac version is bundled on the CD? I could not see the information anywhere.
