Anyone for Golf? ⛳

I played the above MSX game tonight and — wow — it’s so very impressive. Plays like a T&E SOFT golf game but… it isn’t one.

I mean… it even has the half-time digitised photo and music montage.

Arguably, this is on par with the SNES (1991) and MD (1993) T&E games. At least graphically and gameplay wise. Speed it is obviously slower at redrawing the course given that it’s running as MSX2 (and it’s not Turbo enabled).

Now, the bombshell is that this game is dated 1988! Which means it precedes T&E SOFT’s 1989 PC-98 version (the first of their New 3D Golf Simulation series), which for comparison sake looked like this:

And so my mind is kinda blown right now. I need time to process what this means to my world view :joy:
