Links: The Challenge of Golf

Links: The Challenge of Golf PC CD classic golfers greens sports golfing game! Type: Game Platform: DOS Publisher: Access Released: 1991 Media: CD Links redefined what golf on the PC should look and play like; it migrated golf from a sports game to a simulation. Good use of VGA's 256 colors made for a realistic course with trees, water, sandtraps, and the fairway. The addition of ball physics, mulligans, changing the lie of the ball, real digitized environmental sounds (even through the PC speaker), and the ability to view a replay (even from multiple angles) gave PC golf games a new echelon of quality to match. Links catapulted to the top rung of the golf simulation ladder and the series has managed to stay there for over a decade.For DOS/Windows (via DOSBox) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
