poconojo Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I have been playing a lot of Intellivision golf lately. I forgot how good this game really is. I know most people feel that Chip Shot is a better game than PGA, but i have to say I think I like the original better. I just wish there was 18 holes to play instead of just nine. Maybe some programmer on this forum could do a remake of this game with a full 18 hole course? Baseball, football, basketball and hockey were remade, why not PGA golf? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I like the game as well. The 3D aspect of the programming was impressive for 1980. I thought the main thing the game lacked was a zoomed in, sloped, putting green. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconojo Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 I remember getting this game in 1981 and I didn't like it at first. The game grew on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I haven't played much PGA Golf, but I should give it a try. I do play a decent amount of Wii Golf. Looking forward to golf on the Amico. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinjinhawke Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 This was the game (and bowling) my dad always played with me as a kid. Great memories. Later moved on to Fishing on the Dreamcast and golf on the Wii but started with PGA Golf. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconojo Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) I just shot a 38 on PGA golf. Usually average around 42-45. Those damn trees get you sometimes! I wish there were 18 holes in this game. Edited January 30, 2020 by poconojo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poconojo Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Chip Shot is an awesome game in its own right. I still play the game a lot. I bought chip shot when it came out in the 80s through mail order. I used to have about 85 intellivision games with boxes, and I sold everything back in 2008. I wish I would have kept everything in my collection. Bad decision on my part. Of course now I feel like collecting again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poconojo Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 I have played PGA golf about 150 times over the last few days and I cannot beat my low score of 38, which is par in this game. I forgot how tough this game is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you keep playing the game, you will score the same. I just cannot score under par. See if your buddy has scored under 38. If he has, maybe I could get some advice. My average score now is around 42. Edited February 1, 2020 by poconojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing required for Chip Shot is way too precise for me... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
