NGH-003: Top Player's Golf - Neo Geo Generation | Basement Brothers | Neo Geo Collection

In the third installment of Neo Geo Generation, we look at Top Player's Golf, 1990 by SNK. No competition for Neo Turf Masters, right?

I'm 3 reviews in and enjoying your show. It's my kind of review show, coving games I'm into, with my kind of humor. Not many people out there covering games in any sort of detail close to this.

[@Pagaugezero]

I used to play this in bars in the early 90s. I have it for the MVS.

[@summerlaverdure]

I bought this on the Switch just now because of this video (if it's anything like the other ACA I'm assuming it's MVS version), thanks for the heads up!

[@spagbowlsparmacheese629]

16:20 agree soo much.. FM based chip tunes are more memorable. Maybe why I love megadrive aswell.

[@Gunh3d1]

Thanks for being so precise on the differences between cart and CD versions!!

[@RetroTuna]

Played this game loads way more that that game we are not mentioning and still have the MVS cartridge, i used to play tournaments with my mates on this on the weekendsand once you learn it you can get pretty good at it and 2 player games can get very competitve. i love the neogeo cd because of the arranged sound tracks there were so good but yeah chip tunes rule as well.

Great review. I got this for the AES. I can appreciate that you viewed this for what it was worth for its time. Not easy to do these days. For its time, Top Player's Golf was a fine golf game. It took me a while to understand how to play it. I do like the single bar meter for shots. The two click system for games like NES Golf or Power Golf made it tough to get an accurate shot. I would probably say that if you are not a fan of golf games, than this game might not be for you. Neo Turf Masters is more appealing to the casual player. I do like that you can play match or Nassau play against the CPU, something the other game didn't do lol.(of course no Nassau game for that title)

Another great in-depth review, thanks a bunch! Really love the sound comparisons, they're very interesting. Even though golf is not a major passion of mine (to put it mildly, hehe), you've managed to keep me glued to the screen the entire time. See you on the next one!

[@tommylakindasorta3068]

Great episode. I just found you and I'm going through your catalog. Really excellent work and the humor is on point.

[@BasementBrothers]

Welcome aboard!

[@goatbone]

Great review. I remember watching some other youtuber criticising another golf game which used the phrase 'nice on' as if it were a mistake and supposed to be 'nice one.'

[@BasementBrothers]

Haha.

[@theclovercross]

I was just putting on this to relax to your voice and fall asleep too. Bit it was a surprisingly interesting video! That should teach me to only watch videos I've already seen for bed haha. Thanks for another great video! Everyone is a pleasure to watch.

[@RetroHawk]

Excellent stuff buddy.Think il head over and sub and check out your other videos :)

[@ultor7654]

Sir you are a genius ! So great reviews!

[@BasementBrothers]

Glad you like them!

[@Hakeshu94]

Great video. Keep 'em coming.

[@Jamie-yp7qz]

I think you mean FM sound when you are talking about the music. The PSG (well, SSG, but similar) on the Neo Geo is used for sound effects like option selection and when the golf ball is in the air.

[@Jamie-yp7qz]

@@BasementBrothers No worries! People make mistakes in videos all the time.

[@Michirin9801]

Oh dear, the edges of the screen in this game are driving me nuts >~>';

[@geneshifter]

Weird, I have the MVS english cart and there is no caddie option. Was this only on the japanese version? I'll switch regions on my unibios and see what happens.

[@BasementBrothers]

It's only in home mode.

[@GadgetUK164]

wonderful videos =D

[@jedgrahek1426]

I'm enjoying going through this series... but this was 7 years ago, and "that other golf game" is No. 200 something... and this series is only up to 41? You sure you're going to ever get to the great late Neo-Geo games? I saw you flash the Last Blade 2 opening at the start of this, so you know what I mean lol. Though to be fair, Jeremy Parish is doing the same thing... with OG Gameboy games, which are 99% pure trash. Like there's Tetris, the FF Legend trilogy, and Zelda 4, oh and Metroid 2... I guess a few Mario games... Pokemon lol... but jesus, that is true insanity. I actually am interested in every NG game though.

[@MarginalSC]

Such a bar game

[@nexusofice9135]

I only have 1 guilty pleasure game..... And this game is NOT it. That belongs to Need Turf Masters.

[@trevor_mounts_music]

Neo Turf Masters is way better than this shit. Sorry, had to be that guy 😂

[@gumdeo]

A nice cheap alternative to that other game 🏌⛳
