Hey hey hey, let's talk about golf games.
« on: September 02, 2008, 10:50:08 AM »
Golf is my favorite sport (unless racing is considered a sport), and I'd like to talk about some golf games. I don't mean that new, realistic stuff like Tiger Woods, I mean like, old school stuff. Games like PGA Tour Golf on the Genesis, Jack Nicklaus Golf on the NES, and True Golf Classics on the SNES. These are great, old school golf games, and they're fun to play. And this was a time where you didn't have to be all realistic and stuff, when certain sports-themed games were still FUN. And back in the mid 90's when we got our first computer, I enjoyed playing Microsoft Golf and Fuji Golf.

Neo Turf Masters on the Neo geo is one of my favorites!  I actually played the Neo Geo Pocket Color version well before I was awar that there was a Neo Geo Real Deal version.  Hot Shots Golf 5 on the PS3 would be awesome as well except that the difficulty is set much too high.

Top Players Golf for Neo Geo is my favorite golfing game of all time. Such relaxing music and graphics and fun courses. I also love chipping balls out of sand traps in that game; the physics for it are just so much fun. Definitely one of the most comforting games ever made in my opinion. Neo Turf Masters is a lot of fun too, but it's too hyper for me.

There was also an old golf game on DOS I used to play as a kid that I wish I knew the name for. I don't really remember much about it, but the swinging mechanics were fun and it had a cool, simplistic graphical style. There was also this fun golf game I've played on NES a couple of times, but don't remmeber the name.

The Turbo has a few golf games, but I didn't find any of them to be really special.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Neo Turf Masters is certainly fun, I'll have to get a home cart someday.  But its soooo expensive :(

I had only heard bad things about Top Players, but now I'll probably pick up a copy, its super cheap. :)

My favorite golf game though is of course Go Go Birdie Chance! on the Turbo.  Awesome game, though
you do need a little bit of Japanese knowledge to get the most out of it.

I'm not really a fan of any golf games, except for Go! Go! Birdie Chance.  Like SuperDeadite noted, the language barrier kept me from getting very far, but I enjoyed it anyway.

I used to play a lot of Golden Tee at local pizza parlor when I was in high school. Those were good times. I play it now on Mame but I'm thinking of getting a arcade trackball for it. Playing Golden Tee with a mouse just isn't the same.

Power Golf, being the only golf video game for any system that I've played, is by default my favorite.

That said, I actually enjoy it quite a bit, and my wife even challenges me to 18 holes every now and again.

I don't think that I could handle eighteen holes.  Doesn't it start to chafe or something?  :-"

All respect to Golden Tee 2K and to Golf in general, but I too remember seeing that game at a LOT of pizza places and Bar & Grilles growing up here in New England...but my strongest memory is of how it felt to have my hopes crushed...I would walk into the restaurant hoping that they would have a video game that I could p'wn, then I would become excited when I saw the cabinet from afar...and then I would see it was a f**king GOLF GAME!!!

AARRGGHHH!!! I can play golf in real life! That's why we need shooters; I'll probably never fly a spaceship!!

But that was a long time ago. I've calmed down significantly.  :roll:

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.
