Golden Tee Golf

[southpaw13]

How up to date is Golden Tee Golf with Mame lately?  What version is payable on 149?

Thanks!

97, 98, 99, 2K and GT classic. Fore and beyond will probably never see the light of day in mame.


good day.

Golden Tee 3D Golf, is playable also.

I've never played Golden Tee...as a noob, what is the best version I could try out? Mame or unmamed, seems there are a ton of revisions.

All the ones I mentioned and 3D are pretty much the same with course variations. Not sure of the different revision numbers actually have any difference to game play. I've always just went with the higher number. 


good day.

The '99 & 2k on Mame are fun and good.  It is a fun game if you have a trackball.  You can just chill & drink some beers & play some golf.    They are easy games but fun for some time killers.

EDIT:  and what Chopperthedog said.

Thanks, all the same ones for a long time now.  Maybe someday Incredible Technologies will update their version and quit supporting a few more so they can show up in Mame.

Is this what the hold up is for the Golden Tee Fore games in MAME?  Is it just a time issue where IT is still supporting the games so they won't come to MAME until then?

Why did Chopper say that Golden Tee Fore would most likely never make it to MAME?  I was sad to read this and just curious as to why?  I think MAME emulates some games that are more advanced than Golden Tee Fore, or is this a hardware issue?  I would love to see GT Fore for my MAME cab.  About once a year I do a little googling for any updates on this exact topic but obviously every year I am saddened just a little more.

The LIVE platform is their new platform and it's been out for a few years now.  I never see Fore! out anymore, it's all Golden Tee Live!

Maybe that's why there has been some progress on this:


There is an Eagle system driver in MAME currently ( I have no idea how far along it is) and some of the FORE! games have been added as GAME_NOT_WORKING:

I have a Golden Tee Complete! board in my cabinet so I could care less about the emulation at this point, but I'm interested to know how far along it is as well.

Hell, IT barely supports their 2012 software let alone GT complete. (the last of the jamma red/green board games)

If your looking for a golden tee experience, try EA Tiger Woods golf. Its a pc game that plays like golden tee.
Needs a modern PC with a decent video card. You can build your own characters to resemble your self and friends.
I built a dedicated cab for it. Trackball, flyover button, club up, club down buttons.

EA Sports outdid themselves this time.

The difficulty is really course dependent.  Just looking at our scores, Red Sands in Golden Tee '97 seems to be one of the easiest.  You can pretty much ignore the original Golden Tee and Golden Tee II.  The six games in the Golden Tee 3 series on MAME are all fantastic (3D, '97, '98, '99' 2K and Classic). As chopperthedog said, they are essentially the same game with different courses.  Think of it as one game with 18 different courses.  Don't forget to look at the control panel artwork which explains how to aim and curve the ball.

Sweet Baby Jesus maybe this is what I've been waiting for!!  A little progress has to be good right!!??  I had not seen this before but will keep an eye on the MAME updates page to watch for more on this.
