Golf – Special Course (Japan) (Prize Card) is a rare sports game released by Nintendo in 1987 for the Famicom Disk System (NES). Originally distributed as a special gold-colored disk, it was awarded as a prize to top-performing players who participated in the Golf: Japan Course tournament via the Disk Fax network in Japan. This exclusive edition features a highly challenging, expert-level 18-hole course layout that was never sold commercially.
How to Play
The objective is to complete the 18-hole golf course with the lowest score possible by carefully selecting the right clubs and managing your swing. The game uses standard NES controls, mapped for the browser: use the arrow keys to adjust your stance and aim, press Z or X (A/B buttons) to select clubs and initiate your swing, and press Enter for Start. The swing relies on a classic three-click meter to set both power and the point of impact on the ball.
Tips
- Pay close attention to the wind direction and speed indicator before taking a shot, as the expert course layout makes wind compensation critical.
- Timing the final click on the swing meter is crucial; hitting the exact center ensures a straight drive, while slight deviations will cause the ball to hook or slice.
