I would drop this one as the sequel is much better. Also the game has some programming problems where you can get stuck and not be able to go on kind of like with Arunumus No Kibi. Also the end of the game has stumped both me and Gaijin.

Go! Go! Birdie Chance - This one certainly won't please everyone but in my opinion this is the greatest golf game ever made. In story mode you are the coach, you train your girl (similar to other girl-training sims), but the cool part is how it really affects her golf game. As in, you tell her where to aim, but her accuracy is completely based on stats, not how well you hit a button like most golf games. Some great dialog too if you can understand Japanese.

I agree that SO2 is better, but they're both good games.

At any point do you actually *play*?

Yeah you pick her club, direction, and amount of power. How well the shot actually goes depends on her training (which is up to you). Its a unique concept and its a lot more entertaining then the traditional golf. But I also said this game isn't for everyone. There is also a standard golf mode where you have full control, but then its just boring old golf.

Heh after seeing your initial post I watched that very video.
I love Neo Turf Masters, so "boring old golf" sounds fine. Too bad this is so goddamn expensive.

Wouldn't you just get them on the Saturn or Playstation in the case of the latter?

URLS + offending words. I'm not posting the list b/c the point is to annoy the spammers. Words like "download" are prohibited.

Wow, where were you 8 years ago. I got to some point in the game, I think I took the air ship up in the clouds, and this boss literally beat the piss out of me. Like two turns and everyone was dead. I put it down, and never returned. I was quite far into it too.I agree that SO2 is better, but they're both good games.
Isn't SO2 freakishly long?Tenshi no Uta

I was recommended a while ago to play these, but simply never got around to them. One day, I would hope.
