Did you know that the folks who brought us Pebble Beach Golf Links developed another four golf games on Saturn?? Their 1997 Japan-only JunClassic C. C. & Rope Club is set at the two titular courses in the Tochigi Prefecture.
Each course has multiple routes for a total of 108 unique holes. Advancements to the original Pebble Beach engine include live shots following the ball in flight — a big improvement over the still screens of the original game. Up to four players can play with the use of the multi-tap.
A technical game, it is nevertheless accessible. If you loved Pebble Beach, this is even better.
A Saturn fan since the beginning, Peter plays Saturn almost exclusively. For Peter, Saturn represents a moment in time where 2D games were at their best, 3D was just rising, and fascinating gaming ‘firsts’ were commonplace. There are very few Saturn games that Peter cannot find some enjoyment in!
