Hey hey hey, let's talk about golf games.

Neo Turf Masters (aka: Big Tournament Golf) on Neo Geo Pocket is the best golf game ever. SNK has made several great sports games, but NTM is extremely impressive to me since I actually love it, and I basically think real life golf is totally stupid.

Once you license a sport, it sucks all the fun out of it.

Super Baseball 2020? Awesome! MLB 08 The Show™? Sucks!

Honestly Kirby's Dream Course is the only golf game I ever enjoyed.

I forgot about Turf Masters! Both the original and the Neo Geo Pocket one are awesome!

Honestly Kirby's Dream Course is the only golf game I ever enjoyed.

I had an online buddy that I used to play dream course with all the time! Nice call on that one!

The most fun thing for me was sinking a really long distance shot without touching the edges of the hole.... but it always felt more like basketball in that sense so I always said "SWISH!" whenever I did that!

how about Albatross 18!

What's the best golf game on the PC Engine? I see there are not many options. I really enjoy Mario Golf for the Game Boy Color and of course Kirby Dream Course, but I was hoping for something a bit relaxing.

Is there anything like World Court Tennis where there's a bit of an RPG element? Perhaps another system if not PCE?

I'm not into golf games, but Power Golf 2 was fun and impressive for as much as I played it.

How import friendly is it? Will I be able to get by without knowing Japanese?

Also, how's Ganbare Golf Boys?

The fact that the only video games I ever see on things like ferries and other places like are games like Golden Tee Golf has made me REALLY hate it.

I like Golden Tee.  Fun fact, we used to have a machine in my local pub that everyone used to compete on, and Andrew Lincoln from the Walking Dead used to come in and play it when he was shooting nearby.  That was before he was super famous though.

I guess Wii Sports Golf doesn't count as retro, since that's easily the most fun Golf game I've played, but I have been meaning to spend a little time on Gameboy Golf and maybe the GBAs Mario Golf.  I remember a friend recommending PGA tour (Megadrive) as a decent party game too, and I thought he was mad, especially with Micro Machines being available, but I suppose golf is more conducive to conversation and drinking.

You guys nailed all the golf games I can think off the top of my head.

But do you also like Mini-Golf?  I always wanted to play, but never did, Zany Golf.  I remember looking through game magazines and ogling over that one back in the day, but I think it was only for Amiga and Genesis, neither of which I owned back then.

Today, I have Fun Fun Minigolf on the Wii.  And I just bought the Atari collection on steam which I believe includes the 2600 version of mini-golf.  Oh yeah, and now I am remembering about rocket bowl on the 360, which is sort of a combo of golf and bowling.

Zany Golf was on the Mac and Dos I think too, but the Amiga version was the best.  Ross's game Dungeon had an episode about it:

Perfectly import friendly.  It's golf. 

It's not the best looking golf game (power golf probably is?), but it's got the "play against bitches" mode that I liked.   I also like the Albatross games.  The MSX ones were fun.

Ganbare Golf Boys is basically any other golf game. 

Really, all of these games are like the same game practically.

The best one to play if you want a different experience is go go birdie chance because it's cute and has girls.

Otherwise its stumpy and/or boring people in pants and shirts hitting balls in various grassy areas.

you're not going to find a wide difference like NES where Golf was dumb looking once NES Open came out, for sure.

So we're not gonna talk about the 9 year necro bump?
