Minnesota Fats: Pool Legend

The objective is to travel through different cities and defeat computer-controlled hustlers . The player can also take on another human player in order to prove his worthiness at the pool table . The Saturn version of the game largely plays the same as the Genesis version, but includes a training mode, a short documentary on Minnesota Fats, and a completely different plot in the story mode. In the Genesis version, the player takes the role of an unnamed rookie pool player seeking to challenge Minnesota Fats, and cutscenes are computer-animation.

In the Saturn version, the player takes the role of Minnesota Fats himself, in his quest to challenge fictional pool hustlers from around the United States ; live-action , full-motion videos (FMVs) are used for the cutscenes. In the story mode of both games, the player plays either eight-ball or nine-ball , whereas in other modes, the player can also choose multiple other game types, including straight pool , rotation and one-pocket .
