Title: Best golf game for TG16/PC Engine?
Post by: sirhcman on October 16, 2012, 08:25:06 AM: I know most you probably aren't big into golf games but of those who are - what is your favorite golf game on the Turbo or PC Engine? I'm looking to purchase one and I have no idea which to get!

Winning Shot (http://www.thebrothersduomazov.com/2011/01/winning-shot.html) is pretty good.

Jack Nicklaus Turbo Golf (http://www.thebrothersduomazov.com/2009/04/jack-nicklaus-turbo-golf.html)

Ditto.

I did not like Jack Nicklaus Turbo Golf, too slow on the refresh, reminds me of Links on my old 386sx.

Power Golf 2 changes the mechanics a bit, more control and it features real live recorded sound from Japan (there is a aiplane the flys by on the ambient bkgd "music")

I have not messed with the others listed by runinruder.

Post by: TheClash603 on October 16, 2012, 05:22:21 PM: I forget which TG16 golf game it is off the top of my head, but I remember trying to play one and there was no indication on the screen how far the ball would go. Only way to find out how far each person hits the ball with each club is to look in the manual. Man that is ridiculous.

A lot of golf games from the 8 and 16-bit eras did that. I suppose it's more realistic, but I agree that it sucks.

Post by: SignOfZeta on October 16, 2012, 06:49:48 PM: There are a number of golf games I enjoy. Mario Golf, Golf, Neo Turf Masters (Neo and Neo Pocket, not sure which is better, probably the Pocket), Kirby's Dream Course (kind of golf+pool).

I can't say I like any of the PCE ones though...

Post by: esteban on October 20, 2012, 01:22:35 AM: If you give Jack Nicklaus a chance, it's not the worst thing. I actually got into it.

I admit that the refresh rate is astonishingly horrendous....so I often paint (usually oil, sometimes watercolor) whilst playing Jack Nicklaus. After 2-3 hours, I feel as if I have actually accomplished something (instead of just wasting my time with video games). The subject of my paintings tends to gravitate towards either (1) bucolic landscapes or (2) Floridian retirement communities.
