Minnesota Fats: Pool Legend (released for the Japanese Sega Saturn under the title Side Pocket 2) is a Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and Sega Saturn pocket billiards (pool) game featuring famed billiards player Minnesota Fats (as portrayed in "real-life" form by Rudolf Wanderone). It was released as a sequel to Data East's earlier success, Side Pocket. The object in the game is to defeat the AI-controlled competitors in the game. The player can also take on another human player in order to prove his worthiness at the pool table.
