I've stumbled upon a nifty resource for lots of Atari ST goodies waiting to be downloaded. It's the leftover remains of what used to be a popular German BBS called Traveller-Box, by Alexander Bochmann. His hard drives have been recovered, and their BBS contents have been uploaded for the Atari community to use again.
Look, stop reading this lil' article and go and check it out for yourself... Enjoy!!
Zany Golf was developed by Will Harvey of The Immortal and is one of those games I spent much of my college years playing - instead of studying! What a simple yet addictive game, which is obviously based on crazy golf. It's excellent solo and better with friends, but best of all, you don't need to go outside!
Play through several wacky courses to get that ball into the hole, and yes, that's my technical explanation! Controls are actioned with the mouse and feel similar to a snooker/pool game: click/hold on the golf ball for a directional line to appear. Use this to guide the speed/direction of your shot. Interestingly, a level of interaction is added - that might be controlling fans, playing pinball, making a burger jump, etc.
It's quirky, it's silly, and it's a little lame... but... Zany Golf is freakingly fantastic, so play it!!
