After posting the box art for New 3D Golf Simulation at when ⌚️ the 📰 box 📦 art 🖼️ slaps 👏🏻 - #5 by gingerbeardman
I remembered I had a mostly finished blog post about the series. So I put a little bit more time in to finish it and it’s now published:
For me it’s THE golf game series. Great physics, great control, stylish graphics, minimal TV- inspired presentation, glorious blue skies, and sweet FM synth music.
Any other fans of this series?
It’s on at least: MSX, FM7, PC60, PC98, X68K, FMT, MD, SNES, 3DO, SAT, PS1, N64, PS2 & DS!

I will definitely check out a few of these. I’m always down for a few digital rounds of quality videogame golf.
I’ve never played any of these, but I feel like I’ve seen them all over the place. Given one can emulate most games for, say, MD, SNES, PS1, Saturn, N64, DS, is there one game in the series you’d recommend as a good starting point?

As mentioned in the blog post, my faves are the Mega Drive games. They’re just so stylish. I prefer the look of the Japanese releases (dithered graphics) but the USA releases have a more forgiving power meter.
BUT, if you choose MD, play them with the emulator CPU overclocked (I choose 400%) in emulator settings for a more modern and pleasant experience. Pico Drive core does a great job.
Other than that the final two games on SFC are great (no English release, tho). They’re a little slow, but graphically equivalent to the first games on 3DO and Saturn.
And the DSiware edition of Touch Golf is truly excellent.
