Actually i hate golf games, even the thought that there are people out there buying and playing them. As a very young kid i found golf to be interesting to do with a stick and some rocks and nuts as balls for about 10 minutes. Which was the time when i pulled off a goal with one shot from many many meters. That was "golf" for me for my entire life. It can be played without stupid clothes/karts/expensive gear and country sized fields.
This game can't be golf because i find it a cute little game.
For a console in 1978, that's a neat piece of programming and the game looks like it's probably quite playable and fun. You have to admire those coders from the 70s and 80s, cramming so much into just a few kilobytes of RAM/ROM space.
is a cross-country game in which a player strikes a small ball with various clubs from a series of starting points (teeing grounds) into a series of holes on a course. The player who holes his ball in the fewest strokes wins. The origins of the game are difficult to ascertain, although evidence now suggests that early forms of golf were played in the Netherlands first and then in Scotland.
"Extremely realistic"? Pushing their luck a bit, weren't they?
And I love "press 1 to die horribly".
Also I have ChuChu Rocket in stereo. For whatever reason my copy arrived with my Dreamcast and had 2 identical discs in the box. At least I have a spare!
Hey at least I've a happy attitude. When I insult someone, I put some effort into it. You should have called me "a foolish oaf with turnip ears." Then I would have paid attention to you.
played this for hours! still got it out in the garage somewhere... very under-rated .. makes you concentrate on play technique rather than graphics. BTW, you should have shown the fit the little man throws, pounding his club on the ground, when the ball hits a tree!
Wow - you play this a lot better than I do!!! I still have this game - 1 of my favorites to play - do you have Turtles??? You should review that 1, maybe Freedom Fighters and Alien Invaders Plus! I surely love the Magnavox Odyssey!!!
So this game is not about virtua golf players playing virtua golf on a virtua golf course with virtua golf balls and virtua golf clubs in front of a virtua crowd with virtua crowd noise?
can i ask you a question how many games came out for the odissey ?i had one when i was younger many memories cool system in 1984 my brothers had one now im 30 but can i download the games i
Love your reviews - I'm no longer a gamer, but there is something ambient & soothing about your retro reviews. Kind of wish you were into the 8-bit computer games like Commodore & ZX Spectrum :]
This game is pretty fun, and it is really exiting when you use your imagination to make up the crowd sound effects. And as always - awesome review Mark. :P
Yeah, but it ain't gay. A tip for you: find out the meaning of your name, then you'll see why your nick is rally gay. Way gayer than claiming 1st comment on youtube (even though I don't see anything gay about that, but since you said it so...).
