Reviews for Royal Birkdale: Championship Golf (#4252)

Even by 1983 standards, this golf game from Ocean was terrible. There's a rough top down display of the course in UDGs and a badly animated stick man represents your golfer going through his swing.

Such niceties as irons and clubs have been glossed over and you merely get to pick between 1 and ten; specifying distance and shot strength are done in a similar fashion. Hitting the ball properly comes down to pressing a key at the right time.

There have been some good Spectrum games written in BASIC, but sadly this isn't one of them.
