11. Jack Nicklaus’ Greatest 18 Holes of Major Champion… (1988) – Sculptured Software, Inc.
This was published by Accolade and uses the same mechanics as Mean 18 with slight tweaks. You now move a cursor to aim instead (stolen from World Class Leaderboard presumably) and when you use a lower powered club, the bar moves more slowly making it easier to be accurate.
This is a nice playing little game. Jack’s day-glow EGA features welcoming you to each hole are a bit much but the graphics look much improved (if a bit busy). I found it a little tricky to know where to aim in this one as it doesn’t feel the need to point you towards the hole. Still plays well and it’s starting to feel like these games have settled into a pattern now. The first of many games to feature a famous golfer’s name in tow.
