Through the course of my challenge, I played a whole bunch of sports games: soccer, tennis, volleyball, baseball and even wrestling. None of them were really pleasant to play since they didn't adapt really well the sport to the console. Now, the time have changed, in 1987, Family computer golf, Japan course release and changed everything (it's pretty much this game).

They were able to reproduce the feeling of golf pretty well in this game. You can choose your club, where you hit on the ball and the direction that you want your ball to go. All this is seen on a top down view so that you could have a great view of the course you are doing currently. You also need to take into account the wind that is blowing. This will influence greatly the shot you are about to make.

When you are ready to hit the ball, the screen will go in a 3rd person view of the golfer and you will need to do a 3 step hit by simply pressing A at the right timing. The first one is to start you shot, the second one is to determine the power of your shot and the third one is to see how precise you are hitting the ball. This will be hard at first, but once you get the hang of it. It can be really fun to time your shots.

When putting, you will fall on a top down view and you can see how the green is tilted so that you can aim correctly to the hole. It can be seen by the arrows on the green.

While this is a gold game and I know they are not the most fun, I still had a great time to do a 18 hole course.

Game #51 of my challenge.
