Review GOLF (Wii U eShop / NES)
Sub-par
Before the hyper-realistic, face-deforming technology of modern Tiger Woods games was conceived in the deepest dreams of Electronic Arts (a company busy with Marble Madness at the time), there was Golf for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

I always thought Golf games would be boring to me as a kid, but this was my first golf game i played and was kind of fun. As far as old school 8-Bit Golf games go, i really liked Golf for the GB.
