Golfing on the TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine | CGQ+

[@CGQPlus]

Oh, oh, oh. Once thing I totally forgot to mention, and I know people will ask. My HuCard sleeves. The original HuCard sleeves are made out of this really soft plastic that over time breaks down and turns into this sticky mess. It's possible to clean off the sticky stuff with rubbing alcohol (and some actual rubbing), but it's just going to keep happening. I actually have a few HuCards that suffered some light cosmetic damage because the melty plastic discolored the printing on the game itself. So while I did clean all of those sleeves and have them stored separately (to keep the games complete in case I want to sell them later), I bought a bunch of Tyvek sleeves (used for making floppy disk sleeves back in the day, and used as a vapor/air barrier in home building now) because they are an archival-quality material and because I don't want my HuCards just bouncing around loose inside the jewel cases. They're about $14 for a pack of 50, so quite cheap. Here's a link to them: amzn.to/3gi9h5s

Holy crap, thank you so much for pointing these out! They're back ordered but I'll be getting them in a few weeks now!

[@paulh2426]

Funny that you rated Jack Nicholas Golf so high. The first golf game I ever played was the DOS version and absolutely loved it. When they released the Super NES version I couldn't wait to go out and play it. It ended up being my favorite golf game on Super NES. Then when the KZbin started being a thing and everyone dumped on it and recommended something else I just was totally confused. Thanks for sticking to your guns and nice to know I'm not the only one who likes those games!

[@bjornh1527]

I really like niche videos where you dig deep into a single subject! I’m not that into golf games, but it’s fun to hear about their differences. My PC Engine collection has no golf game but this gets me in the mood for some Hal’s Hole On One on SNES!

[@limitedseal7333]

I’ve been watching your channel since you first started, and I have rewatched and rewatched all of your cgq+ episodes in chronological order about 5-6 times now. Love listening to you as it brings back very similar memories. Thank you for the entertainment that is better than all the other content on KZbin(tied with James Rolfe gotta respect the man) LOL. You deserve more subscribers.

[@LNSLateNightSaturday]

$85 on VHS!!! That's some expensive golf advice! lol

[@skankcor3]

And that’s like 1990’s $85.

[@CGQPlus]

Some might even call that a ripoff.

[@Rando1975]

That was pretty common at the time. It was expected that VHS tapes would be purchased for rental in video stores, so you would get your money back through the rentals. Although in this case, I can't see golf tips being an in demand rental.

[@TheReasoner]

It's just a saturday in April, but I was eating rotisserie chicken and watching a CGQ video about golf games, and somehow it felt like a holiday. You put a lot of work and attention to detail into your content. I loved that glimpse of the CGQ Weather Channel. Great to see you come to the defense of a game that seems to have been unfairly dumped on by other reviewers. Keep on doing content that you're excited about.

[@WalrusFPGA]

Usually not very keen on golf games besides the ultra casual stuff like Mario Golf and Neo Turf Masters, but I like your taste in games so I'm gonna check this out. Thanks for putting another PCE/TG episode together. I always enjoy learning more about this system, and its library.

[@colinbaldwin7773]

Another great informative video, as always! Love golf games myself. More chilled than other genres!

[@mattkoons8128]

Really enjoyed this video. I like how you described Naxat Open as well, so much so that I ordered a copy. Looking forward to playing it.

[@marmosetfreund8506]

Much appreciated, this was super chill and also quite interesting. Love it! Subbed immediately.

[@karmatose]

Good video! Enjoyed the topic, obviously but you could tell that you were into it as well which also made it enjoyable. I had no idea that you were going to do EVERY golf game on the TG16/PCE! Glad to finally check this one out.

[@Mospen]

Such a great video. Very well done! I really enjoyed the small touches like coverage of Universal licensed music (including the CGQ Weather graphic). I'm a big fan of golf games and enjoy playing them from time to time. Great topic for a video with excellent thoughts, information and comparisons. Keep up the great work. I enjoy all the content you put out. Have a great day!

[@joncrowley9835]

Really like a video on a very niche subject! I'm also one of those people who doesn't particularly care for golf, but very much enjoys golf games. Something very chill about them.

[@shayne1062]

What a wonderful video! You've really re-kindled my love for classic golf games over the past few years. I was really looking forward to sitting down with this video at breakfast on Saturday morning (like the adult version of Saturday morning cartoons) and it didn't disappoint (they never do). Thanks for showing these classic sports games love despite it not being the popular thing to do.

Hole in one! Nice Happy Gilmore clip. Happy Gilmore and Hot Rod are the two best comedies of the last 40 years.

[@Pai3000]

I played Power Golf as a child to death and I loved it. It was one of the first games I got for the TG16 and at first it was quite complicated but little by little I (and my brother too) ended up really nailing the shots. Amazing memories.

[@darthv72]

Holy crap... never knew there were so many on the pce/tg. Nicely done.

[@lrf233]

I enjoyed the video and watched it all. Very interesting and not so mainstream topic. I enjoyed the long form in depth review. I would definitely watch more of this sort of format.

[@broch.630]

Definitely dozed off watching this yesterday afternoon, but like...in a good way. Like napping in the middle of a baseball game. Came back to finish today; I really like seeing all of these games side by side like this. Especially with golf games, where you would think the mechanics would be fairly limited, it's interesting to see all the different approaches at work.

[@CGQPlus]

Dozing off watching a relaxing KZbin video is one of life’s simple pleasures.

[@ZakkHung]

Absolutely love Power Golf. Just the title music puts a smile on my face.

[@mistakrayz]

I like the taking out of game descriptions. Thanks for your work.

[@bvs56]

Right on man. Quality vid, and improved my day a lot. Thanks.

[@cedarvalleygaming]

The first golf game I played was LInks: The Challenge of Golf on Sega CD at my friends house. I've never watched or played golf but I really enjoy Mario Golf on N64 and GameCube. I love driving the ball down the fairway and waiting to see where it lands and then the technicality of the green and reading the terrain. Good stuff!

[@Ralph_Sandwich]

Perfect topic for a Saturday morning video. Hope you have a nice weekend Chris.

[@BF-Gator]

I'm not into golf either but Arnold Palmer tournament golf on genesis is the best one i've ever played

[@ryansease7066]

Next you need to do the golf games for the Sega Genesis ;) Also, a top five or ten video about your favorite golf games would be cool to see, too.

[@rgdickenson]

Awesome video, Chris. I certainty got me excited to play more Turf Masters via fightcade

[@timbsm]

Looking forward to watching this when I get a chance. Golf games have always held a special place in gaming history IMO; there's something immensely satisfying about being good at a sport that I suck at in real life. Being from Augusta, the Masters Tournament has always been a big part of my life; I grew up parking cars at my grandparents' house just outside the gates, dreaming of what it would be like to play there. It's too bad the course was never featured in a game until much later; I would have loved to have played it back in those days.

[@nicknikiforou6939]

Golf games rule. I collect them as well. Bithead1000 is loving neo turf masters at the moment too. Need a collab with you guys at some point

[@juststatedtheobvious9633]

I don't play sports sims. But I love watching reviews of old sports sims. Thank you for this.

[@nypinstripes]

Only you can get me to watch a hour long video of video game golf, Chris. Haha.

[@WalrusFPGA]

Ain't that the truth. lol

[@Mujangga]

I don't know, if it doesn't have Nancy's Report, it's just not golf. Great video Chris.

[@Yuuretsu]

Late to the party but thanks for this video. I'm definitely gonna look into Winning Shot and Power Golf 2. Human Sports Festival is easily worth the price as a compilation alone. I'd be really interested in a video on PC Engine tennis games and dodgeball games.

[@urmie]

Fantastic video Chris, perhaps you can do this with other sports too? 👍🏻

[@CGQPlus]

Yeah, I would love to.

[@matthewreynolds3982]

Quality content as always sir, im a guy who enjoys a good golf game

[@billschlafly4107]

I had Jack Nicholas Golf on the Turbo back in the day. I can see why people would complain today, but back then it was great. And it's still a great golf game IMO. It's an itch I scratch once in a while.

[@DontCallMeScooterrr]

I was playing Power Golf last weekend on the CoreGrafx mini... the meter is definitely way too fast on OG hardware + CRT, adding some lag into the mix makes it borderline unplayable. Aim waaaaaay right to play the hook off the tee and hope for the best. Even tried to use the turbo switch for a chip shot LOL. Better off punching it full blast with the putter. Great stuff as always, glad to see your head is in a good place to put out some content. For our sake AND yours of course. Thanks!

[@sandplasma]

Love me some golf games, lets keep it going for NES now!

[@RetroSho]

Oh man, good episode. I would love to see an episode on F1 Racing games.

This is perfect timing because I spent two hours golfing in Yakuza last night.

[@CGQPlus]

You can play golf in the Yakuza games? Which one?

[@bobbybacino]

@@CGQPlus Yakuza 2/Kiwami 2 and 5 have a driving range, Yakuza 4 and Dead Souls have a proper golf course.

Super Albatross seems like an RPG (Role Playing Golf), you play golf to save the world.Good morning, by the way, though it's almost midnight in Indonesia.

[@Chris-Courage]

Well this is a topic I never thought I'd see anyone talk about. With that being said, Winning Shot is great! It's one of the easiest golf games to figure out how to play. It should have been released in the North America.

[@CGQPlus]

Yeah, I agree.

[@miketate3445]

I loved Power Golf back in the day. That is all.

[@penuts17]

Waking up on a Saturday morning to see this is the bomb, yo.

[@chocolocojames213]

What a coincidence. I was playing Hot Shots Golf on the Vita earlier. Can't wait for the new Mario golf 😃😃😃

[@briannorthFW]

Great idea, yes people may think it’s just sports-but Golf games have always had a following on video games-this was interesting in that you broke down all the different options on one platform, sort of ranking video-but way more nuisanced.

[@Yura-Sensei]

I fell asleep and then finished the video next morning

[@TruthSword7]

I'd really like to see you do this exact video again with genesis golf games.

[@CGQPlus]

I think that would be a lot of fun to do...

[@madfinntech]

I enjoyed Sensible Gold on Amiga back in the day. These days Neo Geo Turf Masters is my go-to golf game.

[@CGQPlus]

I keep meaning to try Sensible Golf.

[@bobbybacino]

Nice video as usual Chris. I don't remember if you have a Switch yet or not but you should pick try playing Golf Story. It's pretty cool not real realistic but it's an RPG similar to the Mario Golf games on GBC GBA.

[@CGQPlus]

I actually bought it this morning! It's on sale right now for half price.

[@bobbybacino]

@@CGQPlus That's awesome! I hope you enjoy it and maybe talk about it someday. Also awhile back I was reading your website and I really enjoyed reading your old sports reviews for Genesis.. You should do another video like this but with other sports titles for Sega etc. I know views won't be as high but as long as you enjoy making it, that's all that matters.

[@MidnightCherryTV]

Ooh, excited for this one

[@stgenerations]

Never liked golf as much as I did on the Sega Genesis, but I should probably go back to tg16 - pce golfing

[@stgenerations]

@cgq+ you should ask someone in the turbo community to fix / patch / re-color the jack nicholas cd game. If it’s that good it deserves the treatment and will be released with great golf claps, I mean applause.

[@starlightrevenant]

Now, I was wondering why any Electronic Arts PGA Tour Golf games never got any TurboGrafx/PC Engine ports. Populous (an EA game) did made it to the PC Engine, however.

[@Foxxy999]

Another 16-bit golf game that came with a fold out map is HAL's Hole In One Golf on the SNES, which is pretty good honestly.

[@fossil-bit8439]

If you’ve never been out to a real golf course Chris, go out and buy a handful of cheap clubs at a thrift store and just hit up a small 9 hole course. Even if your not good it’s still a good time.

[@CGQPlus]

Oh, I've golfed a handful of times in my life. Honestly, the reason that I don't do it is because I think I could easily get way too into it and I don't have time for that at this point in my life. Maybe when I retire.

[@fossil-bit8439]

@@CGQPlus that’s true! It only takes one good shot to keep you going back for more! That’s the reason I mostly play arcade style games anymore I just don’t have the time to play in depth RPGs like I used to! Haha!

[@TruthSword7]

With Jack Nicklaus ETC Golf, I have never understood why the bars on the shot meter are not evenly spaced. It is very distracting and takes away from the game IMO. But as far as the color palette goes, I actually like how it looks on the Turbo more than any other port. It has more charm.

[@adamweishaupt2846]

20:47-21:17 You sure don't find anything like that in the Tiger Woods golf games 😂
