The first game on the list I’ve played before and one of the first DOS games I ever played. We get the Caddieshack gopher on the start screen. Gameplay is your typical swing mechanics but aiming is so much easier just using cursors to move the screen around – none of this guess an angle then click a key to redraw nonsense I saw in Championship Golf.
The green’s sloping is a bit less sophisticated with regions of arrows representing inclines but it all works well enough. I really like this one. Not as sophisticated as Championship Golf but way more accessible. I’m more or less expecting all the subsequent games to play essentially like this but hopefully there is some variety.
