World Championship Snooker

World Championship Snooker is a sports simulation developed by Blade Interactive Systems and published by Codemasters, built around an officially WSA backed coaching mode and a unique shot aiming system designed to make snooker accessible to newcomers while retaining depth for experienced players. The title is notable as the first instalment in what became a long running snooker series. The PAL release landscape comprises two catalogued variants under shared serial SLES-02196, with the original release country and packaging data largely undocumented and a documented No 1 Bestseller Codemasters reissue covering UK and France in a Full Jewel PAL case. The disc carries English, French, and German language support. The earliest catalogued PAL release is dated 28th June 2000. Loose paperwork documented across variants includes the Codemasters Catalogue Genius at Play and a Manual Registration Card for World Snooker No1. Collector interest is steady, with snooker simulators retaining a particularly strong appeal in UK collector circles given the sport’s strong British profile.
