Miniature Golf

released on Dec 31, 1979

This is a computer game simulation of a miniature golf course. It attempts to refine your sense of timing and your perceptiveness in judging distance. As in a traditional miniature golf course, a variety of obstacles are placed in your path to the cup. Depending on the game that is selected, the course can be played solo, or a two player competition can be initiated.

Just another Pong clone dressed up lazily as something else.

Too ambitious for its era💔

I like the Atari games that are just named exactly whatever general concept they are supposed to represent are but somehow this one ends up being misleading. Its less Mini Golf and more Pong with obstacles. Obstapong. Shockingly, golf without any physics sucks, and Miniature Golf sucks more than you’d expect. Worse of all, the hole layouts are boring which is sort of important when it comes to mini golf. Its just throwing a square block at other square blocks until it gets in the right spot on screen. Trying to do a golf game before consoles could handle the advanced shape of round was just too ambitious.
