Pro Tour Golf

As you may have gathered, it's a golf sim but it was the greatest available by any stretch of the imagination... until PGA Tour Golf II came out last month!

What We Said Then

Jaz: Golf might not be everyone's cup of tea, but PGA Tour Golf is so well produced, it should appeal even to those who'd normally never think about buying a golf game.

PGA Tour Golf

Matt: PGA Tour Golf may not look visually exciting, but for any golfing fan (or anyone who fancies something different) this is the one to get.

What We Say Now

Jaz: I think we grossly underrated this at the time. The control method is one of the greatest ever designed and the game is simply superb. We should have given it an overall mark of 95% - over the last two years I've played this more than any other Megadrive game! Nowadays it's been superceded by PGA II, which is even better!

Rich: I also think we underrated it at the time, but it's about the right mark now. However, what's the point of having this when you can have the superior PGA Tour Golf II? Get that instead!
