When I was a boy, I thought these videos were the coolest damn thing...this old dude doing these insane pool tricks, combined with the fact that I was watching it within a video game on a computer, real video coming from a compact disc!

Today, I decided to preserve those videos for posterity, and I hope people enjoy them as much as I do.

"Machine Gun" Lou Butera, man - he's so good and he hits the ball so damn hard on those massé shots:

OH SHIT! I had that game, too.

I totally forgot about these. I always thought they were amazing.

Machine Gun Lou was an early pool hero of mine due to these videos.

Hell yeah, i remember being super disappointed when Virtual Pinball 3 didn't have these videos. Also the Monty Python'esque 'History of Pool" was cool too.

Dude, what? I've never heard of this before. That guy is awesome by the way. Those Masse shots were awesome. I struggle hitting the ball, much less hitting the ball with enough force to make it boomerang all the way across the pool table.
