8 Ball Billiards: Classic is an online version of eight-ball pool. The player tests their skills in player versus computer or player versus player mode. They can also increase the difficulty level of the game from 1 (easy) to 5 (extremely difficult).
The game presents the player with a billiards table that features green baize, wood rails, six pockets, a cue ball, two cue sticks and 15 balls (a black eight ball, seven balls with solid colors and seven striped balls).
The player's goal is to pocket all the balls from one of the seven-ball sets and then the eight ball before their opponent. The game starts with a break shot to assign the solids and stripes. Once the player knows their assigned set, they attempt to hit the balls into the pockets using the cue ball and a cue stick.
If the player knocks the cue ball into a pocket, they lose a turn as a penalty. If they knock the eight ball into a pocket before their set, they automatically lose the game. When they win a game by pocketing the eight ball last, they receive a trophy.
8 Ball Billiards: Classic uses a green arrow to indicate a player's turn. It also offers a guideline to help the player determine the best angle to hit a ball. The player can turn off this tool via the settings menu.
