I’m just discovering this system. It has some very good games that still stand up to repeated play today!

Case Study 1: [Chip Shot Super Pro Golf](http://www.mobygames.com/game/chip-shot-super-pro-golf)

Wow. It’s actually quite amazing that a golf game this fully-featured and gameplay-rich/deep existed in back 1987 for a machine with “1980” specs. My mid is kind of blown. I’m playing it using the freeIntv RetroArch core.

- 1 or 2 player
- 5 pre-built 19-hole golf courses
- accurate ball physics
- realistic wind signified by pin flag movement
- green slopes (one slope for whole of green)
- randomisation of course elements (slopes/trees/wind) on each play
- three different types of trees with different effects on your ball
- course designer, select from 99 holes
- good controls
- good power meter

The only things I kind of wish it did would be to auto set direction (point towards the hole) and club (for distance to hole) after each shot. And maybe multiple slopes on a green.
