Fighting Golf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fighting Golf (also known as Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf) was a modestly successful golfing simulation released by SNK for the NES in 1988. The player could control one of four golfers (Pretty Amy, Miracle Chosuke, Super Mex, and Big Jumbo) each with his or her own strengths and weaknesses.

The game play was relatively simplistic, completely devoid of the storylines and off-field strategizing common of sports games today. The player had to avoid sand traps, water hazards, rough ground and trees.

The courses themselves ranged from relatively straight-forward fairways to elaborate arrangements of sandtraps. There were two courses, Japan and U.S. The U.S. course main hazards was its placement of bunkers and super rough. The Japan course main hazards was water and o.b.

At the end of the game, the player was greeted with a photorealistic shot of the country club lodge against the setting sun and surrounded by trees.
