Pro Golf

If you're getting bored waiting for the release of Leader Board on the Spectrum, then Atlantis have produced something to chase the boredom away. Will I be wasting my money, I hear you ask! Most certainly not, I reply.

There are two courses in the game which can be loaded from either side of the tape. These give you a real challenge to undertake especially if you fancy playing a round of golf in America without paying the air fare. The two included are Sunningdale (England) and Pebble Beach (U.S.A.).

Up to four people can play at any one time. If a championship match is chosen, you play four rounds against seventeen other players which four can be controlled via the keyboard.

A cup is presented to the winner after the fourth round, but in the event of a tie the computer will decide a play-off. A save game option is available after each hole, and after each round you are able to change all the conditions that you want.

If you are not ready for a long game then a single round or practice option is available. For players can still join in the single round. In practice, you are able to choose any hole and the conditions that you need the practice on.

This must be the best game to come from Atlantis, especially with the fabulous title screen music.

The only thing I dislike is not having a Pitching Wedge in amongst the selection of clubs. I'm off for another round!
