10. World Class Leaderboard (1988) – Access
Another one I know very well from back in my days with a CGA PC. Very similar to Mean 18 but better looking, you just move a little cursor around to aim instead of having to redraw the whole screen while you turn (more accurate and quicker) and of course we have the addition of all that fancy realsound.
Can’t tell you how impressed I was with the commentary on this back in the day. It gets repetitive quickly now but I still love it. Gameplay on this is quick and intuitive and it definitely feels like the genre has truly got going by this point. The slope on the greens is all in one direction on this one again (indicated by a stick with a shadow on the green) which is a slight downgrade. I’d have liked to play for longer but there’s another 40 or so to go…
