Classic Game Room reviews NINJA GOLF for Atari 7800

[masterjustin45]

instant awesome..just add ninja

[longview161]

This is the greatest game ever

[gameboysp13]

What an interesting concept.

[TheRattlehead13]

what's next?!?! samurai cricket?!?!

[GenyaArikado]

@TheRattlehead13 hahaha ^^

[theretrogamer14]

this game reminds me of ATHF: Zombie Ninja Pro Am for the PS2

[thobby120]

Wait, is this an old episode?

[SitarKnight]

Talk about a random ass game! lol

[Sypran]

Id like to think the programers were told they needed to make a golf game, but they thought golf was boring, and they wanted to make a ninja game. So they made this awesome idea of a game.

[supervenom2000]

when i first saw the title i thought you play golf but your a ninja

[KingDavid73]

I just found this game at the local game shop for $10... I've only seen it once on ebay... for like $50+

[Shmuklidooha]

I got this game for £10. Best tenner spent in my life.

[shadowhexogram]

Didn't ask a ninja do a video about ninja golfing? I guess he was referring to this.

[elniniocool]

0:55 I dont think so buddy

[RSJVillyV]

@elniniocool

I disagree with your statement, because Mark speaks the truth.

[xxxIronLeexxx]

That other guy looks like he wants to fight or something at the start of the video...lol.

[spiderjerusalem100]

I just laughed my arse off when he took a shot and then ran off to fight ninja. This game needs a remake on XBLA.

[Ballbusteress]

Yea we need Ninja Pac man Decathlon

[sludgeworldorder]

THIS GAME NEEDS A RE-RELEASE!!!

[HeLLVaderous]

!NINJA GOLF !

[NINJACH0P957]

2.

[599ferrari]

EA, make Lord Karnage PGA tour 2012 with 9 holes of ninja golf!!

[Kommando786]

so thats what he looks like!

[DJNEKOO]

My type of game!

[girandpiggy95]

4: That's a nice

1: Big

5: Horse.

[PseudonymPlayer]

@girandpiggy95

2. Go!

5. Whores

[danno0350]

My first ever gamesystem (that pad came standard here in the uk and mine had a little stick you could unscrew on the dpad better cntrl than a nes pad), your right about it being underated. I think they should of done more than this with it because some of the games like this I think look better than the nes. Don't regret getting the amiga 500 over the atari st after though although both were good systems though.

[frigginjoe]

Atari hates audio.

Otherwise, I would like to have seen better support to see how some games from later years would hold up when ported to the Atari 7800. Darn.

[foxmakeba]

HD remake in 3D. MAKE IT SO.

[spartastar]

What the Hell was the chair man at Atari smoking when he said "Ninja golf, yeah lets do it".

What a combo!!!!

[AcidPipe]

tiger woods aint got shit on ninja golfers

[MrGmodlol61]

ಠ_ಠ

[quiggibub]

How is this not on every modern gaming system?

[NwilliamD]

If real golf was like that... I'd actually watch it!

[Quartrez]

Not even Mario Golf has ever stretched to this extend of awesome.

[TKnightcrawler]

I want this so bad. :-D

[IntoTheMeatGrinder]

thats a gopher not a badger

[Bloodthr0e]

@IntoTheMeatGrinder No, the ninja is the golfer. The badger is what he was killing.

[kirkula]

holy crap I'ma remake this right now on game maker!

[chrisz5z]

this game is due for a remake on the current gen consoles

[garyc2]

They need to do this as an actual sport.

That was a great shot by Tiger Woods, Now watch as he take on a group of ninjas.

Whaaaa!

[acicon]

this game needs a remake. or atleast a wiimake

[shredicon86]

See how happy everyone was when the Dreamcast was around? :)

[JusticePain666]

This game rules!

[MrNinja29]

This would be a perfect game to go with Xbox Kinect!!

[spiderfred1]

DAMNIT YOUTUBE!!! freezes after every single freaking introduction!!!

[leahcim8597]

@spiderfred1 Its your slow connection, it has nothing to do with youtube.

[luishomeroremohsiul]

Brilliant. 

[MrSaturn33]

God this game is good...It sounds really stupid, random, and cheap, but it's made SO WELL! This should be a REAL sport!

[Maskddingo]

I know you all aren't getting paid to make these reviews. That's obvious, Don't quit your day job. Mimicking the games music is not an effective review technique. If you've never played this game, don't listen to these chodes. that actaully didn't 'review' the game at all.

[ZeldasSword]

@Maskddingo

This was made 10 years ago, they are way better now

[Quartrez]

@Maskddingo If you'd listen to the review, you'd actually noticed they DO review the game.

[SjpelleHelle]

U will die if u get hit by an egg, lmfao!!

[WaddleDee105]

 Tiger Woods ain't got nothing on this shit!

[ocpud2999]

they so need to remake this one LOL!!! 

[MasterOrHan1]

The other guy quit doing his bad kung fu dub inpression! That was the best part! :(

[BrunoAlexanderSilva]

i would like to see tiger woods playing golf like this :P

[GoGoGadgetBeer]

@BrunoAlexanderSilva he has too much fun with his sword

[Bubblybum123]

came here because of the wii golf review LOL

[LuminousPath13]

What's the music you have playing at the beginning of the video?

[2TonTongue]

You're telling me none of those shitty Wii publishers thought to remake this? Really? The guys who made 80,000 cooking Wii games? We have games for Deal or No Deal and Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader, and no new Ninja Golf? Really?!

[MajorLeaguerAnubius]

@2TonTongue NO system has Ninja Golf... which sucks... :/

[Yagamimoon]

the sharks sold me.

[doppleganger4827]

Ninja Gaiden Golf, now that would be a nightmare. Birds constantly respawning to attack your ninja face. 

[johnwx777]

Tiger Woods can take lessons from this Ninja.

[BillyCauseyjr]

Wow I mssed this review untill he mentioned it in his E3 video.

[Ken10Ethan8]

Name Sucks, but game looks good

[SpiralPegasus]

They talked about a remake on the DREAMCAST...

I cried ;_;

Part because of the memories of the 90's/ very early 00's, part because twenty years have passed since it's release and still it hasn't been ported or remade...

[kovyx85]

WTF? that's all I have to say about this game. Not in a bad way tho' XD

[miketh2005]

I heard they really are making a remake coming to WiiWare, DSiWare, iTouch and iPhone.

[OneEyedWheeler]

I'm calling for a remake!

[useless1997]

If god plays, this is his choice.

[WebVMan]

Just give me a golf game like NBA Jam.  Let me get 3 birdies in a row, then I can start setting the golf course on fire. And let me get fireworks when I get a hole in one. Stuff like that. Yeah. PGA Golf X-Treme!!!!!!!!

[Koolkitties]

@WebVMan SNK's got a pretty good arcade golf game for Neo-Geo. No fire or anything like that, but there is a Japanese girl who says "ON THE GWEEN!"

[fujitafunk]

Damn, what a solid concept for a game, especially on Atari! They should really remake this.

[jmartin1087]

Why is this game not remade for??? It's AWESOME!

[pauljs75]

I like the concept of this. This is probably what Dr. McNinja does on his time off. They REALLY need to remake this for the Wii! (But with a re-design and control scheme befitting the Wiimote.)

[TheMadmaza]

fantastic! i want it!!!

[StrawberryGuy86]

Just to let you guys know, someone actually made a remake of this game on Newgrounds with music and everything. CGR room wanted a remake and now they've got one, sort of.

[IgnatzKolisch]

忍者ゴルフ！

[Timmy121088]

best game EVER!!

[WCWite]

lol cool idea

[slashzaku15]

this is probably how the ask-a-ninja ninja play golf

[patrkcirtap]

here's hoping for a psn/xbl version

[AllPro777]

This is one of the dumbest ideas ever, yet it's still cool as hell.

Atari was never afraid to try something different.

[Angelwithdirtysword]

it's such a bad idea that it's awesome as hell

[SuperBlackjack22]

this game looks really good

[miki440]

they should make a movie based on that game game xD

[pirosoffaireyes]

@miki440 totally it wont suck! XD

[chizzy555]

@miki440 they should make a multi movie series for it, like lord of the rings, 300million budget per movie.. and lots of sharks

[Infinitrium]

@miki440 Ooh, gotta make sure Uwe Boll directs it!

[peppers515]

@miki440 It would be better than the street fighter movie

[CervantesXV]

@miki440 I think they should make real life based on that game. XD

[thetylife]

LoL...This just blows my mind!!!! Ninjas golfing lol. And it came out as late as it did in 1990?? Never heard of it before. I need to get a 7800 emulator immediately!!!

[GiantMoth]

This must be the most awesome game known to man O.O

[N0NEoftheAB0VE]

That actually looks like a cook game, would be perfect for the DS!

[JonnoStrife]

Australia?

where the fuck is that?

Its pronounced

STRAYA!

[BigFishVideos01]

Wow dude, thats not funny. Some people can take ALOT of offence to that.

[JonnoStrife]

Im Australian so its okey dokey.

[JonnoStrife]

Dude I'm Auzzie so I can say that. Its somewhat of a self aware witticism.

[dougd1015]

Subscribe Now Human.

[shanethefox]

I can't find any game that beats this one!!!

[EdgeStorm3]

lol this or streetfighter 4 hmmm......

[crisisded]

Easy choice... Ninja Golf, of course.

[EdgeStorm3]

lol

[ptwob]

this game is how every golf game should be, you take a shot and then fight ninjas.

[CervantesXV]

@ptwob One year later, a correction: "This game is how EVERY FUCKING GAME/MOVIE/BOOK/WHATEVER should be, you take a shot and then fight ninjas.

[dogeymon83]

Ninja.....golf???? Joke, right??

[notyoursavior78]

This game is very real and fairly expensive for a old Atari game. I wanted to get it one time, but the cheapest I saw a copy going for was like 40 bucks.

It actually looks awesome, honestly.

[bludeborne]

no joke my dear freind

[1337BleachFan]

I wouldn't be surprised if this game had a cult following.

[SilentBloodShed]

lmao XD good review!

[MrFahrenheit212]

I would buy a 7800 just for this

[leothelion877]

0:19-0:30 I love how they keep a straight face the whole way through saying that

[voltucinco]

cool game

[holalluis]

wow man the microphone on the right is a Neumann U87?

[SuperDave341]

can you use the NEs style gamepad on an us system?

[kinmanyuen]

Goddamn... odd game

but good gfx lol

[gojira12345678910]

Is 7800 compatible w/ 2600 and 5200 games? If so, I have to get one.

[theperfectone121212]

It will play 2600 games, but I'm not sure about 5200 games.

[nayte23]

tiger woods games would be way better if you wasted some motherfuckers while ur ball is in the air, and then killed a dragon to putt. that would be the best game ever

[WaiWu]

"NIne holes on Ninja GOLF!" OMG....LMAO!!!

[WIIRULESMAN]

They need to remake this. Or another game with a similar, bizarre premise. If they made a "zombie baseball " or "pirate tennis", it would be amazing.

[t3rr411]

i think the company that has ATHF made zombie ninja pro am and it's plainly a joke.

[dorkforceti83]

I like how the guy on the right looks all serious.

[fubukimaru]

EPIC...

[posthumanfetus]

I think the Aqua Teen Hunger Force game was trying to copy this, but this is a million times more fun.

[Tryzon]

3:54 You can see that Mark has yet to lose the little joystick part of the gamepad. So he lost it somewhere between 15 Jan. 2000 and 20 Aug. 2008 (when he reviewed the gamepad)

Well, that narrows it down to....a bit over 7 years. Terrific.

[Tryzon]

Simply astounding. This is easily the best 7800 original around.

[DracIsBack]

... in your opinion!

[Tryzon]

Name a better 7800 original. I can think of none.

[DracIsBack]

I have lots of 7800 games that I prefer over Ninja Golf. Just because you don't personally feel that way, doesn't mean everyone feels that way. Your opinions are just that ... not facts!

[SashaNein]

He just wanted to know the name of the game. Do you have one?

[Tryzon]

I was being deliberately stubborn for the most part. It's just this really is a candidate for "most awesome game to date". The mere concept is genius, and ahead of its time! The world wasn't nearly as Ninja-mad as it is nowadays.

[ruffrydero5]

what's wrong with EA, they make almost all the sports games yet they'll wouldn't make a ninja golf game, tiger woods is old news, ninja golf is a fresh new old idea

[raysaber]

Pretty good graphics for a 7800 game. Mutii layered backgrounds, good animations...not bad!

[perrymcdermott]

at first I was like fag...

but then I was like, wow!

[danbit5]

i know now why i wasted many dollars playing the dragon slot machine lol no comment

[quizno1992]

omg that game is fucking amazing!

[Optimus6128]

Hilarious!!! I MUST find emulator and download this game. Now!

[perropeppe]

where can i find this game?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[doinblow]

Why isn't this game on EVERY console?!?! Goddamn, I'm gonna buy a 7800 just to play this.

[uzishuffle9mm]

that would sell like crazy today. imagine ninja gaiden or ninja blade crossed with tiger golf. It would be epic.

[moniman1996]

golf is not gay anymore

[bigduo16]

someone needs to make this into a movie

[guigowlo]

BADASS

[lorenzo90221]

great ya its cool like it dont get better lol like u said

[Tryzon]

This game...exists?! There is a Mighty Zeus up there somewhere...

Now I just need a 7800...damn.

[Infendo]

Tell the care-bears. No one here cares about fan-boys.

Have a happy life.

[Nytezero]

The one, the only. The man, the legend, lol

[Evilmonkey66699]

"Best game ever"

[AmstradExin]

I have the game as original, and it has the best graphics of all 7800 games. The gameplay is fairly addictive and the ideas have potential.

[DracIsBack]

Best graphics of all? Don't agree there.

[AmstradExin]

So? Ok, Commando has nice scrolling, but looks monotone...Basketbrawl has lots of Detail. So i guess i can say its on par with it. But otherwise, its one of the very few games that comes close to games on the NES....

[DracIsBack]

ALIEN BRIGADE, SCRAPYARD DOG, MIDNIGHT MUTANTS, SIRIUS, PLUTOS, CHUCK NORRIS: MISSING IN ACTION, KLAX, KUNG FU MASTER, XENOPHOBE are all games worth checking out in that sense.

[AmstradExin]

Maybe only Sirius and Klax....the others? No...Mainly because they look like having graphics ripped from another system... which i also suspect from Sirius...the sprites look so greyish...something known from the C64.. And Missing in Action wasnt released. If that one would have had a bit better graphics, it might have saved the system. ;-)

[dstarks80]

Not sure if any game could've saved the 7800 or Sega Master System back then. Nintendo was using cut-throat business practices that kept developers from making games for other consoles.Nintendo's business practices were later declared illegal.If you can remember,the Sega Genesis was out for 2 years before anyone even took a look at it.

[AmstradExin]

Thats so true. Even here in Germany. And when the Super NES came out, the people were like they never saw a video game before...

[ryanak]

With 20 years of video game knowledge, I can with confidence say they were stoned out of their freaking minds when they came up with this one.

[GeezuzKhrist119]

this game needs a wii remake

[SugarRushx3]

I'd love to know how this game works =)) but it does <3 so well <3 I love it.

[Tryzon]

2:38 "Sharks! Sharks!"

This is just an astoundingly amazing concept, and truly the cover is the best thing ever. I stuck it on my door!

[lucaseason]

Wow. I have never seen this game before. Very odd. Weirdest idea i have ever seen for a game.

[BurntWater214]

For those guys without money, there's a flash remake of Ninja Golf, go google it i don't remember the site.

[Link4587452]

NES: Ninja Gaiden

SMS: Shinobi

7800: Ninja Golf

[Patrickillian]

agree ;)

[twmoatess]

i got to get this game

[JerryTerrifying]

wow. This game looks amazing. I'm glad I bought an Atari 7800 yesterday on Ebay. I'm definitely going to hunt this amazing game down.

[thadaran]

looks like the BEST GOLF GAME EVER!

[templar325]

its not an egg

[lucaseason]

lol
