Golfamania (Sega Master System review)

Developer: Sanritsu
Publisher: Sega
Released: 1990

Golfamania is a sports game that's exclusive to the Sega Master System.

+ Substantial range of modes for 1-4 players, and the Pro Tournament includes helpful advice for attacking all 18 holes.

+ Intricate hole arrangements offer a real challenge, and the variable sweet spot range for each club adds suspense.

+ Gaining experience points for solid play is rewarding, and the game even throws in fun side-quests like longest drive prizes.

+ CPU is quick to make decisions to keep the action flowing and it's interesting to see how they approach difficult shots.

+ Graphics are beautifully detailed, and the secondary camera angle behind your golfer gives a great scenic view.

- Putting is tricky, as the camera is too zoomed out and the array of arrows / blocks to signify slopes is unintuitive.

- Difficulty can be rather harsh until you've upgraded your golfer's stats, and there's no option to turn the music off.
