Atari 2600 My Golf

[jpfalcon2003]

Just recently acquired this game and I must say it isn't even closely comparable with any other 2600 golf game. This game is very well done. The graphics are awesome on this one. It really makes the other golf games look truly sad.

Atari should have done this one with their realsports series or for their Super sports games that were made in 1988.

I wanted to recommend this game to the people on here that like golf games because you can't get no better than this one.

yeah, it is pretty impressive. Too bad there is no NTSC release. The NTSC ROM just makes me hunger for it more.

Yeah, I'm in Australia & bought "My Golf" back in the day. I normally hate golf but this game is excellent & still occasionally fire it up. Regardless of whether you think you would like a golf game I guarantee you will enjoy it. An extremely well programmed game & really good with another player.

...I have the NTSC version that Thomas Jentzsch converted over from PAL. I also have a very minty box and docs that go with the game.

It was one of those games that was a victim of the time of release for by the late 80's people had already switched over to more powerful systems and so were unaware of gems like this being available for the 2600

I have a PAL My golf. I supose I could swap it out with an NTSC chip. I don't noramlly care with PAL exclusives as if I play them I use my universal TV.

Like many of the late releases this really shows what the 2600 can do. This and the likes of Double Dragon, Kung Fu Master, Double Dunk and River Raid 2 really showed that the 2600 could compete as an 8-bit system.

All of those games done a really fine job in competeing against the 8 bit systems. Some of the same games I also thought were superior in visuals than the 8 bit systems. Just wish that games like this could have come around a year or so prior to 1989-1990. Maybe then Atari would have blown Nintendo out of the water.

 

I do love my NES too though, but the 2600 and 7800 are the best.
