SLOWEST GOLF EVER! PGA Tour ’96 [Mega Drive] video review

The year was 1995, and everyone was so excited about the Playstation and 3DO they’d sell their granny to even so much as try one. Amid all this hype, EA Sports attempted to launch PGA Tour 96, with its ‘revolutionary’ vector graphics, for the ageing Mega Drive.

Whilst this was indeed a bold attempt at pushing the console to its limits, the downsides were all too obvious for anyone who tried to play the game for more than ten minutes. After the initial ‘wow, look at those fantastic graphics!’ factor, players would soon realise the thing runs about as quickly as Geoff Capes in a fat suit on a rain-sodden Hackney Marshes. Whilst local kids throw wet sponges and rotten fruit at him.

These new graphical enhancements took their toll on the MD’s processor to the extent it could take anything from 8 to 20 seconds just for the scenery to appear. The Spyglass Hill course in particular, with its ten million trees and bunkers, takes longer to load than Renegade on the Amstrad CPC464. Which is pretty long, and not half as enjoyable.
