32 International Open Golf Championship (1993) – Really Interesting Software Company (RISC)
Ocean entered the golf game market with this one. It actually tries to do something new with smooth 3D graphics and instead of the usual hook/slice power bar, we pick in 25% chunks how much power to use, then have to move a little cursor over a golf ball while it fights back so that we hit the ball in the right place. It’s like playing one of those old darts games or cutting the maiden’s hair in Heimdall.
Novelty aside, the 3D graphics look fairly horrible now, as might be expected for any game attempting this in 93. Fighting the cursor to hit the ball is not fun either. Not one I’ll be going back to.
