This is possibly my second thread on this, but was unable to find the first...assuming it exists. I drink. :?
I popped it in for a few holes just now. Every time I come back to it I am floored at what they pulled off. If you look at similar games on Genesis - the PGA tour games that attempted the pseudo-3D courses. They just don't hold up next to PG2. The only game I know of that refreshes faster is Waialae on SNES. But it's nowhere near as polished as PG2 in terms of design and interface.
Anyone else love this one? It's probably my favorite 8/16-bit era golf game.
Question: it appears you can save in between holes...I have yet to figure out how to "load" these saves. They show up in my file cabinet - but I cannot find any way to load them to save my life.

Yet another PCE game with fmv. Judging by a nico video on my phone, the fmv looks similar to John Madden, so I wonder if it's using HuVideo.
The in-game courses appear to use real scaling and rotation to render the ground.

Wow, I can't find a single YouTube video of this game. I have it at home, but damnit I want to watch a video NOW!

Thanks. Unfortunately it wants me to create an account and sign in, which I am not going to do. Thanks for trying, though.

Yeah, I'd love to make some vids for youtube - since there are literally NONE

I recently bought this, haven't played it much yet but I picked it up because I loved the first Power Golf so much. Seems pretty cool, haven't figured it all out yet.

It's definitely more "sim" than the first one. Honestly, they don't feel linked AT ALL. The tournament mode is awesome even with moon runes. You have to do jobs to earn money to pay for clubs and plane tickets to make it to tournaments. It's so good. It hurts my brain that it's not talked about more.

Thanks! That works great.

To anyone who has the complete PCE CD set torrent, it's under "Hu PGA Tour Power Golf 2 - Golfer".
The fmv is 16-colors and 128 x 128 pixels. It looks very smooth, but might only be 12fps.
The overall sound is great. The chip tunes use nice sounds for great compositions and "performances". The golfing segments have nice natural background/environment sounds with perfect sampled sound effects. It's cool how the chip tunes fade-in and play over the background sound after you make(?) a hole.
Another mouse controller game.
I order a NEW/Sealed/L@@K! copy, but only economy shipping was available.
-
Now I wants it. Bad. This is cool looking.

It's dirt cheap. Get it!

I bought it new for $12 shipped.
-
Yeah I don't know what I paid for my copy, but it must have been hella cheap or I wouldn't have bought it.
-
Just got a new copy for $8 lol. Awesome sauce guys!

Looks way more in depth, will check out.

I'm not into golf sims at all, but when I played this one, I was shocked by its overall quality. It's pure Hudson class. I just wish they had released J.League Power Stadium, I bet it would have been on par with Power Golf 2 production-wise.

I just fired this game up on an emulator here at work. I'm not a huge fan of the original power golf (great music, colorful graphics, but game mechanics leave much to be desired for me). This game though, wow. I might have to crank out a YouTube vid for this game, since there isn't shit on YT already.
-
I'm not crazy about the first Power Golf, but all this positive chatter about the game has convinced me to burn it and try it out.
The control is so much better than the first one! And I love the bg sounds. :)
Much of the game is in English. It's super easy to navigate and figure out. And I love how it tells you how far each of the clubs can hit when you need to choose.

Wow that looks great. I wish there was a ISS like game for the PCE, all soccer games feel like they're of low quality to me compared to it. That game looks like to be almost on par with ISS, not a fan of the perspective and how the players are drawn.

Have you played Formation Soccer 95 Della Serie A ? It's a great, yet unknown, football game.
