Pebble Beach Golf Links for the Sega Genesis Mega Drive is a classic side-scrolling golf game from 1991. The game features an authentic English style of links golf, which allows players to shape their shots, with the use of a power meter and by adjusting the club face. Players can see their shot’s trajectory against the contour of undulating fairways, avoiding hazards and bunkers along the way.
The game takes place at Pebble Beach Golf Links in Monterey, California and on some casual observer levels allows players to take on courses modeled after real courses such as St Andrews Old Course, Prince's Bay, Asia Golf 2000 and Loch Lomond. There are also fictional courses included in the game such as Club 2000 and Deepsea Hills among others.
Players start each game with two standard clubs - a 9 iron and pitching wedge - but can purchase special power hits or low irons throughout play. The goal is to land your ball safely on the green when playing on regular course mode, which allow you three strokes per hole before you move onto another hole. In tournament mode the goal is simple – get past each hole faster than your competitors while being careful not to overshoot or miss altogether!
In single player mode you have three options: practice where you can get better at hitting shots without worrying about score; tournament where you compete against up to four computer characters for first prize; or classic versus mode where you pick one human opponent for a contest round. Additionally there are three Difficulty Levels that affect how powerful your opponents' drives go, plus various weather conditions like strong wind speed or driving rain that can really alter your performance.
Overall Pebble Beach Golf Links provides an addictive classic gaming experience that appeals to both beginners and seasoned golfers like myself alike who remember it fondly from their childhood days spent playing it with friends! With unique visuals of its time plus innovative gameplay mechanics this is an absolute must-have title in any retro gaming fan's collection.
