If ever there was a game designer qualified enough to make a seemingly dull and futile hobby accessible to the masses it must surely be Mr Meier. You can also play a tournament too, but I found this aspect of the game to be a bit underrealized in all honest. This is a lot of fun and adds another element to the game.Īs well as the main game mode, you also have a sandbox mode where you can just screw around and create a dream golf course without the worry of keeping your bank balance in the black.
You can then enter him in competitions where you can make more money. This part of the game has RPG elements as your golfer will get improved stats as you play. Gary Golf And The Game ModesĪnother part of the game has you taking care of your golfer. Making a course is just as much fun as building a house in The Sims. While the game gives you a limited amount of money at the start it is very forgiving in this regard. It is the kind of game that looks very, very complex, but it is actually quite easy. The game has a tile base system where you need to design the holes so that they are fun to play, but also look cool. Each one will have a different terrain, Vegas for example is more dessert based and San Diego will offer you more green, Hawaii more water, and so on. You can pick from any different locations all over the world to start your golf empire. Sid Meier’s SimGolf starts you off with 100 grand. The music gets repetitive after about 10 minutes and it feels like you hear the same sound effects over and over again! The sound on the other hand flat out sucks. Still, with the primitive visuals, there is a real charm to the game. This was done intentionally as the idea of this game was that even lower-end computers would be able to run it back in the day. The game is viewed from an isometric point of view and it has a very simple type of art style. With the “Sim” in the title, you will not be surprised to know that this game has a very “Sims” style to the presentation. The basic goal of Sid Meier’s SimGolf is to build a full golf course and a country club that people have fun with all the while making money. The idea of the game is that you have inherited this land where a Golf course can be built, but nothing has actually been done! The game has you building a golf course from scratch and you also have a pro golfer that you can customize.
