HD only golf game?

zardoz · 19 May 2005, 15:15

1. Possible name of game
pass. the word golf probably appeared somewhere

2. Game genre (General)
golf. sports. simulation.

3. Game genre (Specific)
definitely golf.

4. Viewpoint
First-person. It is a golf game. Or is that 3rd Person?

5. General dates
Early '90s.

6. Commercial status
In a box, multiple disks, hd only. Probably quite a high profile release, American I think, aimed at the US market.

7. Other specific info
My mate gave me this game because he didn't have a hard drive. It was pretty unplayable on a 1200 because the super advanced rendering took sooo long every time you took a shot. You got to see it rendering too, wireframe first, then filled back to front then the scenery got added. Trees and shrubs and the like.

I think it must have been aimed at A3000 owners; it was non aga + hd only. (Probably a pc version too).

I wouln't mind having another look just to see what it should play like on a fast enough box.(or emu.)

Mean 18! Possible entry for the "most ugly amiga game ever"

But boy was it FUN and got it for free with Amiga Format (at least I think it was Amiga Format)

reckon you could pop this into the zone? I've seen some ugly Amiga games, just wanted to see if this one had proper ugliness...

I UL'd it to the Zone..and it is ugly as hell

I used to play it a lot in the late '80s and early '90s, the course designer kept it alive. It seems that there's also a few course disks available, the game itself contains four courses.

It's not really fair, because this game has 8-bit ugliness written all over it. It's not proper Amiga ugliness.

I remember this "Mean 18" golf game once was a top flop in ASM (at least I remember it was this magazine) so you guys have some press support for this game's ugliness :-)
