Mean 18

Mean 18 was one of the more popular golf simulations of its day. Produced by Accolade for a variety of systems including the Atari 7800, Atari ST, Apple IIGS, and PC, Mean 18 attempted to bridge the gap between serious golf sims and more action oriented golf games.

Mean 18 is the standard 18 hole golf game. Each hole contains the standard sand traps, water hazards, trees, and roughs. At any time you can press the select button to see where on the course you currently are, and the path you have taken. You can select your club by pressing up and down and change your view by pressing left or right. Selecting the right club for each hole is the key to success, while changing your view will allow you to shoot in the proper direction. Each part of your swing is represented by arrows that move up and down the gauge, alerting you as to when you're about to over or under swing.

Once you make it near the hole, the game will switch to an overhead view and you will have to carefully putt the ball into the hole. If you successfully make the putt, you will be taken to the next hole.
