"How do golf players not make innuendos nonstop?" We do. It's pretty much a requirement.

4 Octavius videos in as many weeks? Truly this is a blessed age

Wow, that takes me back. The original three games we had for our Master System when we got it were Great Golf, Great Baseball, and Phantasy Star. Odd collection. We didn't know any better as kids.

I played sooooooo much Great Baseball back in the day

"great" sounds like a line of discount products of varying types. Like, "great toilet paper", "great cola" and the best of all "great hand lotion".

Great Ferret Legging review when? Lovely stuff!

He actually throws tufts of grass to check the wind direction? Best golf game ever.

"Well, I'm at the swinger's club... why are none of you dressed for golf? ...in fact, why are none of you dressed?!"

I hadn´t checked into this channel for a while until recently - and I have to say that I really really like every single video! The jokes, the ideas, the info-bits - it´s just perfect! Thanks for making these!

“Foot fingers”. I thank you, that will now be part of my daily vocabulary. Entertaining and informative!

You may not be able to beat Tiger Woods on the golf course. But you could probably beat him in a car race.

2:09 - " is just the cool-sounding name Sega gave to their Master System cartridges." It may have started that way... I'm unsure... but this definitely wasn't the case across the range, where it usually referred to the size of the cartridge itself. So "The Mega Cartridge" or "The One-Mega Cartridge" (As in Fantasy Zone: The Maze) meant it held 1 megabit of data, "The Two-Mega cartridge" (like Space Harrier) meant it held 2 megabits, and "The Four-Mega Cartridge" (like After Burner) meant it held 4 megabits - there were, as far as I know, never any 1 megabyte (8 megabit) or larger Master System carts. Great Golf, was, indeed, 1 megabit, so the pattern matches here. Some games just said "The Sega cartridge" , which generally meant they were under a megabit in size - My Hero (which had this) was only about 32 kilobytes! Later on, a lot of games dropped the subtitle altogether, presumably alongside Sega loosening their stylistic guidelines on cases in general.

So glad you are making videos often again. It just brightens my day when my notification pops and it's you

looks like your medication has finally kicked in because you are crushing it with the uploads

These bunch of videos in the last few weeks have been a lot of fun.

Golf still uses yards, even in the UK. It's one of those sports that's hanging on to tradition even to its own detriment.

Talking about getting hit by a golf ball, there is a game where that happens. It’s the first stage of Ninja Rabbits, a rather obscure and not so good budget game for various systems such as the C64. I’ve got the MS DOS version, it was hard to avoid the golf balls.

Sega's history of cumbersome, unwanted add-ons turns out to stretch further back than I had thought

3:38 Thank you for that! I needed that image to brighten my dull day! Thanks again Oc!

Living in Toronto, which has both the influence of the Commonwealth, ad well as numerous South Americans, means SMS and its games and parts are actually quite available.

You're being very productive. Very good! *Throws confetti*

I could only hear "Face Bum" from that voice clip

Really appreciate that you've been uploading so much recently. Thank you.

I'll never understand why the graphic designers thought hey, we should make all the covers look like a high school kid doodling on his graph paper.

"The Mega Cartridge" means it's 128kb large. You should try something like Out Run, which is an incredible 'Two-Mega Cartridge'. It's twice as mega as Great Golf will ever be.

I bet Tiger Woods was at that club.

4:55 To be fair, this is actually the best idea to trick people and POP out as a bunker-monster! 😃

I actually played golf for a bit in the '90s. My thinking was that eccentric rock stars, presidents of the United States and captains of industry all played it, so maybe if I tried it, I'd be that successful. Just sold my clubs on Ebay. It was surprisingly hard. To sell the clubs, I mean. Not golf. Except, golf is hard. I was crap at it.

Just love finding a new content creator with a large back catalog and getting to work my way through hours of great new videos. 👍

Octy has begun her golden age!

I used to have a master system controller in that condition, used it for some c64 and amiga games as removing the dpad cover meant you could cheat at games that involved waggling the joystick by pressing down on the left and right pads at the same time.

Loved this - my first proper Octavius video

Great golf was the first cartridge I had for the master system, back in '88. 11 years old. Fun time it was.

I always take an extra pair of trousers when I play golf, in case I get a hole in one

I am really curious about Great Ferret Legging... Sounds like one hell of a hidden gem to me...

Great Ferret Leggings?! I *must* have this game!

"Great Ferret Legging", OMG STOP! That's hilarious.

Beware the deadly bovine, falling slowly from the sky! You can choose the way you live, my friend, but not the way you die!

Great video keep doing these love your humor makes perfect sense. well done!

1:05 A cow falling from sky? Earth worm Jim, are you still there?

Bogey men at 8:44 and beyond are frankly terrifying!!!

You are one of the best. Keep these brilliant videos coming.

I never owned a Master System but growing up I was always kind of fascinated by the minimalist box artwork for the games.

good to see you making videos again and i loved the master system

I enjoyed this game! I wish I owned a Master system when I was younger. I'm from the states

I'm so glad I discovered your channel from an Ashens video all that time ago.

Golf games are really just there for Dads. Dad games that you'd mention to lure your father into buying whatever console you were after. But it had a "sort of" sequel too, Golfamania.

That swinger joke was marinated perfectly.

Look at you releasing frequent content. So happy for you ^_^

not to be confused with banned Animal Hospital spinoff, "Rate Rolf"

Putting 'Great' in front of anything should be viewed as a warning. 'Great Britain' for example... we're actually quite shite.

It was "World Soccer" in the UK too. Great Soccer was card only in the UK and is as different as the two Great Golfs. Thanks Sega!

I always need more more stroke than usual to finish

Lot’s a good stuff all the time, love it

Great Golf, Marty!

That controller is broken because D-pad is held inside with small plastic tabs in the D-pad itself. I have played 2 controllers to that state myself. Also my first and only game for Master System back in 1991 was Great Golf (exept for built-in Hang-On and hidden Snail game). Great times. I didn't know it had a title screen jingle. I could check since I still have it but I can't be arsed.

how do you not have more subscribers? your videos are very informative and entertaining.

I actually had Great Soccer and Great Basketball as a kid and they weren’t bad, I mean I vividly remember playing them so must have been ok !

Dunno Octavius, we live in Great Britain, seems, kind of par for the course, pun entirely intended...

YAY!! Another octavius video!!

The + character faced children are now my new favorite children.

1:03 - I choose to believe this was an Earthworm Jim reference.

I bought, (yes, paid money for) a Golf game in 1982 for the ZX81 that boasted realism and a thrilling game. It was text only, with minimal instructions. I loaded it once. It assumed you knew all about golf clubs. The best game of golf, (in my oppinion), is in GTA V. I play that for many hours.

This is why I have a copy of Great Golf for the SMS. It was $0.25 US.

Watching a video about a SEGA golf game and getting an inadvertent Red Dwarf reference. Love it :) Keep up the great work, Octavius :)

Today I learned that throwing game boxes at people in slow motion stock footage cracks me up.

Fantastic as always

Loved playing that game.

During the first confetti bit, and ad for a vacuum cleaner came on.

PGA tour golf on the MS was fun

Great Video, quite fittingly. A Great Sports Stream would be amazing. I think I've done Great Soccer before from that list and maybe Great Volleyball as well. Very subjective clearly!

Thank you for that legend story as I live in Great Yarmouth it will help me sleep 😜😁

I want to say that I rented Great Golf once around the same time that my late father got a totally legit and not a copied floppy (wink wink) version of World Class Leader Board for PC with relatively crystal clear digitized voices even through our non-sound card-expanded IBM PS/2 internal speaker courtesy of Access Software's "RealSound". I'm not exactly sure if this was the case (we had the Sega Master System at least a year before we got the PS/2 computer) but, even if I had played Great Golf some time earlier (not sure), obviously, World Class Leader Board blew Great Golf out of the water, both graphically and gameplay-wise (plus the RealSound audio but I already mentioned that, although the Sega Master System should have at least sounded better than an IBM PS/2 without a sound card). The Sega Master System port of Electronic Arts' PGA Tour Golf looks amazing in comparison, not as good as World Class Leader Board but that was running on a proper computer.

I first saw this game on a Sega Mega Tech cabinet at a leisure center in Gravesend in 1999!

Great video as usual Octy. Just thought I'd mention about the Sports Pad controller can be used with Marble Madness even on the Sega Genesis.

Great Friday The 13TH , Someone make that romhack happen!

Loved this review :) love your sense of humor :)

Another great upload, no pun intended.

It took me way too long to figure out that Great Ferret Legging was a joke.

Great Ferret Legging omg the nostalgia…

Now it's time for Pebble Beach golf Links on the saturn

08:52 - That Dominic Cummings gets everywhere...

Grue-ate-u Gor~fuu~

I wonder if the pad works with Marble Madness 🤔

Nice. More Master System reviews please 👍

Great Ferret Legging! What a game!

“Great Golf” - voice synth

I've missed this... And what better way to return to form that by dunking on the dullest sport?! Class.

Awesome. Now I have "Great Ferret Leggings" in my search history. Thanks for that.

I miss Great Ferret Legging.. many happy hours as a kid spent playing that..

One of my friends when I was a kid had one of those track ball controllers. It was crap then lol. We used to try and play sonic 1 using it. You'd totally tire your arm out trying to keep it rotating the whole time!

Awesome video as always.. Really should know the distance of a yard in the UK though, road signs all use them.. Humps for 250 yards is a personal favourite.

--Beanie Baby bubble burst-- 👍

Golf, possibly the only game where you can ask someone: Hey, got wood?

I hate real golf, but I think I’ve played enough golf games to believe the anime girl is saying, “nice on!” Someone may have already commented on this, but I am not going to read them all to find out. Great video! So much about Sega Sports games that I didn’t know, like the deal with the whole sports pad doohickey. Thank you!

Fun video. Liked !

The Japanese version of Great Golf is my fave 8 bit golf game.

You are known as the attractive & entertaining version of the Angry Video Game Nerd.

Great, ...Golf

Reminds me of that annoying summer games there was on it where you had to aggressively mash the button 1 and 2 to run , So much so it would actually destroy the control pads , LUCKILY you can use a sega mega drive control pad on a master system! :-D
