who still plays simgolf

[IMetTrentGreen]

lately my god damned @#$%@!@ dsl has been out, so i've fired up some old games i had laying around.

i got into this game again and can't stop. i got an idea for a community project, too. whoever wants to can make a course and a golf pro, save them, and we can use all the golfers and courses to play our own pga tour type thing. we can send all our golfers to whoever hosts the tournament that week, and let our goflers play. we tally up the scores and money, and keep track throughout the "season"

i haven't really thought out the details, i just thought it would be fun to play each others courses and have it count for something

I wanted to get this one, but I never did. Anyone know where I can pick it up cheap?

[korme]

[korme]

andi wanted to get a league together simmed too like you say

[kingnebwsu]

It's $10 at Best Buy.

[The_herd]

I just stumbled across my copy yesterday and was considering installing it and giving it another shot.

[Cuckoo]

It's $10 at Best Buy.

The only thing I can find there is a Sim Mania pack that has it in it for $20.

Sim Golf is the funnest Computer Golf game ever. Sid Meier is a genius.

[Eaglesfan27]

I still play it occasionally. I have not fired it up for about a year, but might today after reading this thread.

[Young Drachma]

I like the original SimGolf, because it was really well done. The new one, which I purchased recently, didn't hold me as much. It's still quite cool though.

[bbor]

Hrm...i forgot all about this game....it's collecting dust somewhere around here.i might fire it up also.

[IMetTrentGreen]

my course i currently 99/100. one freaking hole is not "variety" enough. now i have to change the whole thing to make it a dogleg

anyway lets do this. seems like enough people still play it

the two ideas i have had so far:

1. load each persons golfer into a championship course, and whoever is in charge plays a tournament 4 times. bascially, you build your golfer up the best you can and let him play himself

2. give that weeks course to everyone and let them play themselves. we'd have to use the honor system, but it would give you more control of your scores

[IMetTrentGreen]

there's a new one?

[MJ4H]

Let me dust off this old gem tonight or tomorrow. I LOVE sim golf. FWIW there is an older game called "sim golf" by maxis that is awful.

[Zippo]

I am IN!

[wig]

Damn, I might get in on this one

[Blade6119]

Im in too!

[Samdari]

there's a new one?

Well, there is the Sid Meier/Wil Wright SimGolf published within the last couple years (which I believe most people posting in this thread are referring to). It is the only game I am aware of actually called SimGolf, I think Dark Cloud has it confoused with something else.

[MJ4H]

No there is an older Sim Golf by Maxis. Trust me, I have it. It's abyssmal.

[Router Help]

Actually both games were made by Maxis. The Sid Meier one (the good one) was the one recently published through EA.

Old: http://www.dealclick.co.uk/product/4990/Maxis_Sim_Golf_PC.php

New: http://simgolf.ea.com/about/

[MJ4H]

Could have sworn I said the older one was by Maxis as well :)

[Zippo]

I only have the newer one so I am in if that's the game you guys are using.

[vex]

I have it and I know you can pick it up at Wal-Mart for $9.97. I think I'm going to play it tonight now...

[IMetTrentGreen]

i've started making my links course in ireland. its going to rock

[MJ4H]

Got 8 holes of my course in Jamaica built. I forgot how much this game rules.

[wig]

I'm going to build one in Minnesota!

[wig]

we should have a cap on player skills

[korme]

TRU

[Craptacular]

I have both the old SimGolf and new SimGolf. As MJ4H said, the old one sucked. I bought it becuase I absolutely loved the Jack Nicklaus series of games, and SimGolf was the first additional series with a course designer. It was horrible though, and I stuck with the JN series, Links, and, more recently, Tiger Woods. The Sid Meier SimGolf is cool though. I might have to fire it up again sometime soon.

You know, this might be better served as a dynasty instead of a league.

[wig]

Once you guys get golfers or courses made, email them to me and I'll zip them all up together and make them available.

Then anyone can do their own dynasty, or get some sort of league going.

Please make sure all golfers are 480 points or lower.

league

Either way, send me your golfers and courses. We need to gather them in one spot.

We can decide what to do with them all later. :)
