Golfamania

Sega exclusive

You'll need sharp eyes, a smooth swing, and perfect judgment if you're going to master Golfamania. Out on the links you'll have to consider the distance, the wind, the lie of the ball, where to hit the ball and which club to use. Then watch that power meter and swing for the pin!

Gameplay

Experience points are gained by doing well in holes. Power, accuracy, and luck are the only stats that can be powered-up by the player. Each player starts out with an experience level of 0 and with zero experience points. Certain golfers in the game do resemble those from real life PGA Tour professionals from the 1980s like Greg Norman.

There is only one golf course; which has some island holes in addition to trees and bunkers. A fanfare is performed when a player performs at par or better; the only other music track other than the title screen music. There is a digitized sound clip when a drive is delivered in a perfect fashion. Some of the holes have special awards where bonus amounts of experience points can be earned by either having the longest drive or achieving a hole in one.

Reception

British magazine Computer and Video Games gave Golfamania an overall score of 89%. Console XS gave it an 82% score. Commodore Power Play gave the game a rating of 71%.
