Mecarobot Golf
released on Oct 01, 1993
In Mecarobot Golf, a mechanical golfer by the name of Eagle was banned from competing in professional human tournaments when it was determined that his mechanical brain that can determine the right angles was an unfair advantage. Instead, the engineers that built Eagle have built him his very own course and the player has taken up the challenge against the mechanical golfer. The player doesn't get to play as the robot, instead they attempt to beat the robot in a standard 18 rounds of regular golf including weather conditions and obstacles such as sand traps, bunkers, water hazards and trees. Players can also practice their swing on the Driving Range to learn the basics of the game.

In Mecarobot Golf, you play as a regular human man on a single regular golf course with regular golf mechanics and rules. The only robot element here is your opponent (singular). You play against a robot, who still uses normal golf mechanics to play normal golf.
This is incredibly bare-bones, with nothing to set it apart from other 90s golf titles. Feels like the "robot" element was a last-second cosmetic addition to try to give the game an identity, but all they did was apply it to your competitor. Tragic! A cyber-futuristic golf course would have gone a long way here. It does some decently interesting stuff with Mode-7, but the controls and UI are so stripped back that the results of your strokes feel impossible to accurately predict. Do not play.
