Tee Off

Ahh. The rush of bracing fresh air into the lungs, the crunch of emerald turf beneath your feet, the solid weight of a number nine iron in your palm. There's nothing like it... here.

The graphics appear to have been etched with a trowel and any similarities between it and the real thing are obviously coincidental. In fact, it rather reminds me of an old Atari VCS cart. You have to guide your little golfer, who looks as if he's had one over the eight, around a nine hole course.

Just line the tip of his club against the ball and then hit your fire button. The longer you hold the button down the greater the force of the put. Thrilling indeed. Unlike Pool, this is one game which doesn't convert well to the small screen and only the most enthusiastic of golfers here will find anything of interest.

The animation is hesitant and sound sparse. Personally I'd like to bury the thing in the nearest bunker and forget about it.
