Zany Golf for Genesis


Image: MobyGames

Zany Golf

Play Kirby's Dream Course instead


Genre: sports - golf

Publisher: Electronic Arts

Year: 1990

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 0

Gameplay Notes:

Really weird controls. You have to press A over the ball, which is tiny, drag away and release A. So it plays moe like Side Pocket than PGA Tour Golf. Problem abound, such as the awful speed. The game performs at about 2 FPS, making it more or less unplayable. I don't know what this game was ported from but EA sucked at ports to the Genesis back in 1990. I love the idea, but the execution is horrible.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Points for originality. Mini golf is fun and I don't understand why more mini golf video games haven't been made.


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

Pretty bare bones. It's just the tiny ball and a tiny hole and no real personality to this game. Kirby's Dream Course this is not.


Art Style Score: 0

Art Style Notes:

Gray and orange are the only colors used. Well and the red ball. As previously mentioned, the performance is heinous. Even if it wasn't two frames per second. Second, everything here is so tiny and ugly that there's nothing to praise.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

The music is extremely simple but light-hearted and the sounds are tinkly but pleasant. Certainly nothing to get excited about Certainly nothing to get excited about


Overall Score: 13

Review ID: 1418
