I'm looking for a decent golf game, and I was wondering how Top Players Golf is. I've played Neo Turf Masters on my NGPC, so I know that's an awesome game, but I was wondering if someone could recommend which of these games to get, or maybe even both. I'd just like a little info/compare/contrast on them.

Thanks,

Brett.

TurfMasters slaughters Top Players 40 ways of Sunday. I don't even consider TP a half way decent game at best.

If you're wanting NTM on AES, good luck. 2 large for that game ( unless you go conversion ). On MVS it's much more affordable.

Anyhow, yeah, Top Players is a horrid game, forget it was made and go for NTM.

NTM is the undisputied king of golf on the Neo. Don't even bother with Top Players.

Yar. There's a reason why people pay $2200 for an US version of NTM. Well, mostly it's because they're fucking nuts, but it has something to do with the game rocking some serious ass. :cool:

NTM is not only the best Neo Golf game.

It's the best Golf game ever for any platforn ( no, I'm not overrating it ). Simply an amazing game.

There's so much coolness on it that it'll hook any non-golf fans with ease without a spock.

Go for it.

I had Top Players Golf and I could not play it for more than 3 holes. It was just that bad IMO. I have not played Neo Turf Masters to make a comparison but I would not recomend Top Players Golf.

I have both games for the MVS. NTM is an absolute must have golf game, it is fantastic. TPG is very below average but I still play it once in a while.

TPG was one of the two games I bought when I received my Neo Gold System back in 1990. I thought it was pretty good back then but it has since been determined that I was blind:glee:

everyone here has it right ... basically dont waste your money on Top Players Golf unless you cant find Neo Turf Masters and are dead set on having a golf game. i think NTM is pretty much the best golf game available anywhere ... thank robert landolf for that (my avatar).

Yeah, NTM sure is a fine piece of game. Gameplay, graphics, music/sound, lastability, everything screams perfection, even more so on NGCD because of the nice extra course(s) and the CD-quality audio.

However, for the going price of the CD or cart, Top Players Golf isn't that bad either. It's not as polished or fine-grained as NTM, but it has quite solid play mechanics and some really tricky but fun courses. Overall, it's more arcade-ish and easier to get into so if you're looking for a quick golf fix, TPG would be a good start.

I have to admit that NTM is the best overall fun golf game (all supports taken in account) but hardcore golfers will find it a little "too much".
But I don't think you research an ultra realistic game so let's for NTM.

NTM, no doubt about it! It is tons of fun with a friend to play NTM. Top Players gets boring quick, although, TP can be fun if drinking at the same time :D But, that is the only way!

TPG is trash.

NTM is an ok golf game, but I'd still prefer a 16.7 M color updated to the hilt golf game on the PC.
