It's not easy to play, mainly because of the lack of precision needed, but it does offer a pleasant way to pass a few hours. Read Review
A multi-player function is sadly missing, but even as a one player game it is quite a challenge, and it's a game that won't break the bank either. Read Review
I quite liked this simulation, though if you're not a golf fanatic it may not hold the same appeal. Read Review
Take on the Acorn park old course in this addictive test of your golfing skills and judgement. Select your club, and the strength and direction of shot allowing for wind strength and direction in a consistent and realistic program. A must for all golf fans!
Each hole will be graphically presented on the screen. You will first be prompted for a choice of club. The clubs available are as follows: Woods 1-4, enter 1W or 3W etc; Irons 1-9 & S (sand sedge) enter 4 or 8 etc. You will then set a direction indicator on the bottom of the screen. See the direction of the shot by using the Z (anti-clockwise) and X (clockwise) keys, adjust the strength of the shot with the up and down cursor keys, then press RETURN. Once you have successfully reached the green, the screen will change to show the green and you will be prompted for direction and strength.
When playing shots, you must take into account wind strength and direction which is shown as an arrow through the tee, the stronger the wind, the higher the number indicated in the tee box (in the range of 1 to 5). The wind will change between holes, but will stay constant during the playing of a hole.
This program was previously released as Birdie Barrage by CDS Software.
