One candidate to consider is https://www.freshports.org/games/flying/ - "Flying is pool, snooker, carrom, hockey + curling with nice animated spinning balls for pool". I'm not sure about redhat, but it seems to have been present in debian from 1998 through 2010.

Thanks for this. Sounds promising. "flying" is a hard search online for screenshots or other info, so I'll follow the lead from the URL when I'm back at my Linux workstation.
