Peter Jacobsen's Golden Tee Golf PC FAQs, walkthroughs, and guides

The PC version of Golden Tee Golf is based on the blockbuster Peter Jacobsen’s Golden Tee 3D Golf coin-op game, one of the hottest arcade pieces to appear in decades. Rather than creating a game that adheres to the standard of point and click swing meters, and confusing menus, Golden Tee Golf captures the fun, feel and flow of the game with a straightforward, intuitive interface. The enhanced 3D engine and exacting ball physics work in the background to provide a compelling sense of realism that players discover as they play. The result is a game that is easy to learn, yet offers rich, deep, and truly addictive game play. The game features 3 beautifully landscaped 18-hole courses, each set in its own unique environment. Players can choose from the classic country club greens of Pine Creek, the spectacular seaside links at Coral Ridge, or the desert splendor of Red Sands. Each course is populated with objects that interact realistically and predictably with the player’s ball. Hitting a tree trunk, for example, produces a very different effect than knocking the ball through the leaves, or even a tree’s branches. The result is an environment in which players can make thrilling skill shots between and even through trees, bushes, and other obstacles. This feature, in conjunction with the changing pin and tee placements, as well as variable wind velocity, and green contour, give the courses almost limitless replay value. Numerous enhancements have been added to the game’s 3D engine, including fog, water reflections, multi-layered shadows, and a new Picture-In-Picture option that enables players to enjoy the action from several viewpoints at once. All new detailed artwork of PGA pro golfer Peter Jacobsen has been digitally captured and seamlessly integrated into the hi-res 16 bit graphics, while utilizing dozens of animated reaction sequences. The coin-op Golden Tee Golf uses a trackball to capture the feel of swinging a club. This interface has been translated flawlessly to the PC via IT’s exclusive TrackSwing technology. TrackSwing uses the mouse in place of the trackball: players control every aspect of their swing with a simple backward and forward hand motion. This dynamic control system offers the player accurate control without removing them from the gameplay that makes golf such an extraordinary sport. The game also features an exceptional lineup of multiplayer options. Head-to-head play via modem or serial cable is supported, as are multiplayer games with up to 4 players over LAN or Internet. In addition, Golden Tee Golf includes fully integrated support for Incredible Technologies’ free Golden Tee Net Internet matchmaking service. Golden Tee Net provides players with a central place to meet, chat, launch multiplayer games, and participate in future on-line tournaments.
