From waking up, getting dressed (new Leeds shirt, hurrah, and checking downstairs for the post, I've been playing on Mario Golf. Bear in mind that I have never touched the 64 version, and, therefore, I can't compare it to the earlier version or whatever.

For the last hour or so, I've been playing through a tournament (on Laiktu), playing the Ring Challenges and just finished a match-up against Luigi, and, in two words, I can accuratelky describe it as a golf sim - above average. If this was back on the 64, it'd be superb as a golf sim. But now, with the new ways to hit the ball with the analogue stick, it justr looks aged.

But, if you're buying a Mario game to be a simulator then there is something up with you, seriously. Being able to 'compliment' the other player and fill his screen with 'let's go!', 'you're the best' by button smashing is a good touch, and could do well in multiplayer, and the range of characters bodes well for playability.

I'm going back for another go. I'll post back with some more thoughts later on.

No, not bothered trying the whole course, yet.

I was playing closest to pin today, with my mate Mario (seriously), then moved on to a birdie challenge with step brother joining in.

Much funs.

There's Pikmin in every flower patch you can find - It's fun smacking the ball in the flowers and watching the lil guys come flying out.
Anyone else get a hole in one on hole 18 - Bowser Course.

Only one game of the same type.... then they'd think you were some other shop cashing in on the deal by getting rid of old stock.

Well Turok is pretty old, but i think i could get a fair amount for Pitfall, since it was given to me for free, so anything is a profit...

Do you think games like Turok or Pitfall count? And does it matter about the condition, cus there is a little tear on one of my boxes...
