Video Hustler for ColecoVision – Classic Billiards Game by Konami

Video Hustler, developed by Konami and adapted for the ColecoVision home gaming console, brings the timeless challenge of billiards to the world of retro gaming.

Played from an overhead perspective, Video Hustler simulates a pool-style game known as “Pocket Ball,” featuring six object balls and simple, straightforward gameplay mechanics.

Players take careful aim and adjust their shot strength to pocket balls efficiently, though the controls intentionally allow for a degree of imprecision—adding a layer of realism and challenge that mirrors the unpredictability of real-life billiards. The game captures the quiet intensity and concentration of the billiard room, balanced by the excitement of each successful shot and the thrill of ball collisions across the table.

As one of Konami’s early forays into sports-style arcade experiences, Video Hustler stands out for its minimalist design and engaging physics. It remains a memorable ColecoVision title for fans of vintage sports simulations and classic Konami craftsmanship, offering an authentic and nostalgic pool hall atmosphere on the home console.
