Just keep in mind, I'm looking at these games from a 1-player perspective, because it'd be a miracle to convince someone to play a 20+ year old 16-bit golf game with anyone in this day and age, that's just the way it is. So if your complaint to this video is, "These games would be better two player!" then good luck getting a 2nd player. Anyway, here's the games:
[0:50] Best Shot Pro Golf (SFC)
[1:07] HAL's Hole in One Golf
[1:46] Harukanaru Augusta (3 games) (SFC)
[2:15] The Irem Skins Game

[4:44] Nice de Shot (SFC)
[5:04] Okamoto Ayako to Match Play Golf (SFC)

In the mid 1990's when my grandad grew too old to spend an entire Sunday on the golf course, my parents bought him a SNES one christmas with a selection of golf games. the original PGA Tour and Pebble Beach Golf Links were the ones I remember. You're right, PGA Tour was a lot of fun to play and we spent many afternoons on the virtual fairways at the likes of Sawgrass. Pebble Beach Golf Links was a lot more difficult and much more 'sim' like, but the graphics were stunning and the music infectious. Great video, thanks for bringing back some of those memories!

Good ol' Nintendo "Golf" for NES, and its successor NES Open Tournament Golf, are easily the best video game golf games to me up until Mario Golf became a thing. Kirby's Dream Course is great, too. Can you tell I prefer ridiculous, over-the-top golf to the real thing? Though those first two are really quite ... "real golf"-y, as realistic as you got in the 8-bit days, and I love them.

@2001mark 6 жыл бұрын

'Golf' rules. Been playing that thing since its inception, learning its nuances makes it genius. NES Open is a very nice 'sequel' of sorts with more options, though longer play session with more screens to jump isn't as fun. Uploaded both to my NES Classic... alas zero golf games hack added for my SNES Classic... shame that. Waialae & Pebble Beach should've been at least good.

We are multiplayer game collectors, and even I (Egg) can't get the others to play the golf titles of the 8- and 16-bit era with me. The oldest traditional golf game that I can regularly find someone to play (without resorting to bribery, trickery, or cashing in on a favor) is Links 2003. Kirby's Dream Table -- same gameplay except applied to pool -- would have been a pretty cool title. I never too any Kirby game seriously until I played Dream Course at a friend's house. I still play it regularly to this day. One of my top 20-30 favorite games of all-time across all platforms.

@Smilley85 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, 8 and 16-bit couldn't give you a good enough view of the course. My favorite golf games are the Mario Golf series for Gameboy Color and GBA - haven't played the "big brothers" on N64 and NGC, though. Also Golf Story on Switch, with its kooky story, side content and characters. Looking forward to Sports Story and the new Switch Mario Golf.

To me PGA tour makes it hard to hit the ball straight. I recommend irem skins game, sometimes called major title instead. You have to to click on the bottom screen with a certain button. I can't remember if it's 'A' or 'B' or X or Y. Then the selection is highlighted on the bottom of the screen. Putting is much more reasonable as it takes just a decent amount of skill to make par most of the time,but it's not too easy. You can also Bogey once in a while as well as birdie. That's why I recommend this game. On the neo Geo ,' neo turf masters is also very good.I have played a lot of golf games in my time and most were very impractical in either accuracy on the swing meter or when putting causing your score to go into the stratosphere.

I think what screwed up the SNES golf games was trying to use Mode 7 to scroll the course when you hit the ball. It seems to be tough to get the speed of the Mode 7 scrolling just right so it matches the speed the ball should be travelling, and the end result is shots that hang in the air *waaaaaay* too long... (Might be why the Genesis faired better, come to think of it; they just used plain old rasterized line-scrolling...)
