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.
