~ JACK NICKLAUS' TURBO GOLF ~
Accolade
CD-ROM
1990
Jack Nicklaus CD doesn't depart from the HuCard version's play system, which is fine with me: Turbo Golf is a mechanically sound title on either medium. Unfortunately, the CD rendition also stands pat with the revoltingly crude visual style "boasted" by the TurboChip...
...and forces players to sit through the same slow, stupid course redrawings in between shots.
Thankfully, JNCD does not retain the card's in-game silence; in fact, it allows you to select from three different tunes during play, and surprisingly enough, all three are pretty good. You'll enjoy listening to them as you tour the disc's five different courses. (The mute TurboChip offers but one.)
Other additions come off as obligatory CD-version tack-ons. The opening cinema is a three-screen throwaway, and Jack's advice being read aloud isn't much of a "special feature."
If you consider the HuCard Jack Nicklaus a decent title (as I do), you'll probably want to upgrade to this version for the music and the extra courses. If you're just looking for a quality golf game for your Turbo, well, Fine Shot Golf on Human Sports Festival remains light years ahead of this. Should you crave more than a single representation of the sport, give Turbo Golf CD a try.
