View Full Version : Robert Byrne's Pool --- NES

Overall RBP is one of the better pool games. Something which cracks me up is that there are in-game advertisements for Robert's books and videos.

So who's going to have a shitfit and shut down their website forever (aka two weeks) over this one?

TRM, you and Martin seem to have the ol' unlicensed prototype market cornered! Between the two of you I'm surprised the unfinished Hellraiser hasn't been unearthed yet.
If one of you sleuths can work on the unmade Black Tiger, I will be a very happy man...assuming you plan on dumping the bizitch.

Had he been naked I would've laughed... the guy runs a business for fucks sake, so why wouldn't he want his books advertised in a game he put his name on?... what I don't get tho is why they (AVE) completely removed his name and the advertisement from the final? Wasn't the whole idea that Mr. Byrnes should advertise the damn game?
and TRE.... I own both a Robert Byrnes Pool Challenge and CueStick, so not me ;)
oh yeah, next "happening" on the Archives will "happen" tonight... you've been warned..
Byrnes wasn't totally satisfied with the finished product so AVE decided to drop the licensing with him after a few unsettled issues.
Another thing. Robert Byrnes is a professional pool player, as well as a business man. Just having his name in the game would have been enough of an advertisement.

And here I was thinking he was a professional cricket player....
He was a professional cricket player in his past life.
