I don't know if it beats Puzzle Bobble. Chicks always dig PB in the cab during parties :)

It's a great golf game.

I don't play it as often as I should though. Played the hell out of it through emu before I got my cabs, now not so much --> I have so many games fighting for my attention that some get neglected. Still a great game.

Beats the hell out of Wii golf.

I always laughed when I got a Bogee. Oh well, I was never good at it, but it was a good game.

Hehehe. I use "The Technician", in all his molester glasses glory. :D

My only complaint is that the "grain" indicator when putting makes all kinds of no sense. I pretty much have to do the opposite of what it suggests to stand a chance of reading the lay of the terrain right. Anything over 20-30ft on the edge of the gween? forget it.

Yes. NTM is in slot one right now. I've been playing it more than anything lately.

Ok, so it may not be the funnest game of all time, but it is sooo fun and sooo simple! I am working to 1cc the USA course, which is tough. It is for sure sticking around in the 4 slot for a while.

Well, it certainly is the best golf game ever created in my opinion. It really makes me wonder what they could have done with Neo Pool Master if it had been finished, hopefully some day someone will find a proto of that and it will turn out it was nearly complete. Seeing as how I never really liked a golf game prior to Neo Turf Masters I have to wonder if Neo Pool Master would make me enjoy a pool game.

It's definitely up there. One the best old school golf games by far. And easily one of the most playable Neo Geo games around.

Years ago, a good friend of mine came to visit me out in LA and kind of rolled his eyes at the Neo Geo. It was so "dated" to him. He isn't one for 2d fighters, so the system was kind of lost on him until I put in Neo Turf Masters. He was completely addicted. He said on numerous occasions, "this is probably the best golf game I've ever played." It really is still remarkably playable, I know Golden Tee has its legions of fans, but NTM would probably still do very well in an arcade right next to it.

That's the beauty of many Neo Geo games, even though they graphics may be dated (anything 2D is probably considered dated by most), the gameplay is still there. That's why the classics never die.

Well it was made by Nazca.

I know SNK acquired Nazca, but does anyone know where the actual developers went off to? Did they stay with SNK? If they did, what did they work on with SNK besides the MS series?

Between NTM and MS, they were in my opion, the best development house working on SNK hardware.

I love this game, I'va had heated matches with DZ, Busted and that's pretty much it, but this game rocks 2P or 1P just as hard as long as there is something to drink/smoke along the way. My first NTM was a boot cart and when put in my friend's one slot it used to work strange, you see, the soundtrack had glitches, but they were awsome, like the sax would go unto a solo suddenly and the announcer will be calling albatross everynow and then, it was a lot of fun, 'cause I played this on the console, so I knew this was all fucked up.

NTM is the game that actually got me thinking of getting into the real thing, even though I dropped that thought real quick, 'cause I find most folk that play golf idiotic and snobish, still it was a great feat for this game to do such thing to me.

Astar: I use the techy as well! It is not the power but the persevereance that wins! When you're in the green use the indicator as if you were a compass. You should make it to a future meetup and we'll play!
