Microprose Golf Amiga
MicroProse Golf is a golf video game developed by The Thought Train and published by MicroProse. It was released in 1991 for Amiga and Atari ST. In 1992, an enhanced MS-DOS version, featuring golf instructor David Leadbetter, was released in the United States as David Leadbetter’s Greens and in the United Kingdom as David Leadbetter’s Golf. The game’s variety was praised, and some critics considered it the best golf game available.
MicroProse Golf includes six golf courses. It features 11 game modes, including medal play, skins, four-ball golf, and foursome. The game features typical golf obstacles, including trees, water, and sand. Onscreen icons show the strength and direction of the wind, which can also affect the player’s golfing. Other icons represent various options available to the player. Among the options is the ability to position the golfer’s feet.
