Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf
Developer: WhiteHorse Games, $29.95
If you're a golfer and can't get to the course as often as you'd like, this might just be the game for you. It's sad: even on the computer, I'm not a very good golfer - then again, there's no shame in getting beaten by Tiger Woods, even if it's a virtual simulation of him. Very professional look, as might be expected from a game under EA Sports' aegis. Tiger is not the only golfer to compete against: Brad Faxon, Peter Jacobsen, Lee Janzen, Tom Kite, Davis Love III, Mark O'Meara and Craig Stadler are all available adversaries. It also offers three PGA tour courses, as well as 18 holes. According to customer feedback, users were particularly pleased about the fact that "It worked just like the PC version." I'm not much of a golf fan, between watching it and watching paint dry, it would be a toss-up, but you don't have to be a fan to be able to tell that this is a high quality adaptation.

Billiard
Developer: Megasoft, $15.00
Much nicer than Pool. Much easier to use, better interface, the whole nine yards. It's also available in color and there are three different games to play. Really, the only thing it's missing is a high score board. I think the price is a little elevated, but I'd rather pay $15 for a good program than $7.95 for a mediocre one. If I wanted a pool program for my Palm, this would be the one I would get.

Pool 1.14
Developer: Giles Goddard, $7.95
A simulation of 8 Ball, and not much else. This is definitely not a novice-friendly product: nowhere are the rules of the game explained, and only the most basic mechanics of how to operate the interface are offered. The precision of cue placement is difficult to control, and imprecise. For die-hards only. The demo version of the game only allows two full games of Single Player and standard Two Player; after that, a maximum of 5 balls can be played in a game. It does permit unlimited use of the 2 Player IR mode. Billiard from Megasoft is much better. It's twice the price, but comparatively, it's worth it.
