45 Hole in One (1995) – Really Interesting Software Company (RISC)
The final game we’re going to be seeing from RISC who are only behind PGA and Links in terms of sequels on here. It’s in full 3D as with all their others, with lots of pastel colours this time around. It’s not realistic to look at but not bad looking for a 3D game of the era to be fair.
Their is a fancy swirly power meter this time around but with the same gameplay mechanics as ever. As with all their games, it plays fine but looks worse than Links and PGA. It doesn’t really take advantage of the 3D outside of aiming so we don’t see any following the ball when you hit it but we do get a reverse angle and a little overhead view of the hole. Possibly too much camera movement would have been asking a bit much for the PC’s of the time. Only appears to include one course which seems a bit stingy at this point.
