My sister and brother-in-law have a IIGS. For Christmas they want games. Can you recommend a good color golf game for the IIGS? Is there any other game that is good for someone who can't play for long periods of time (i.e., something like Zork is no good, since it requires long stretches of time)? My sister got a kick out of the Hyper-gunshy Hypercard stack game that I have. Is there anything similar for the IIGS? I really don't know anything about Apple II software, so any suggestions would be very welcome.

I've heard talk of plans for a hypercard type of system for the GS, but I haven't seen anything yet. Mean 18 seems to be the standard by which all other golf games are measured, since I am not interested in golf, I haven't played it myself. It has a feature that let's you design your own courses when you get bored with the ones provided, and tons of these are available in the public domain (via services like Compuserve, or from PD libraries, and I would assume from BBSs).

There are two GS-specific golf games that I know of: Electronic Arts' _World_Class_Golf, and Accolade's _Mean_18_. I haven't worked (played?) with WCG, but I've seen that it has a wind gauge, some terrain effects, etc. Mean 18, however, has no wind. It does have trees, terrain, and an editor so if you really hate a tree, you can go back to that course later and take it out. You can also make up your own, and I've seen quite a number of Mean 18 courses in the public domain. M18 is a lot of fun. >My sister got a kick out of the Hyper-gunshy Hypercard stack game that >I have. Is there anything similar for the IIGS? Not until Robert Wagner Enterprises comes out with their Hypercard Clone for the GS, I'm sorry. <<** UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMOR ALERT **>> >Jan Harrington, sysop >Scholastech Telecommunications >UUCP: husc6!amcad!stech!sysop or allegra!stech!sysop >BITNET: JHARRY@BENTLEY -David Wood Lowly Student, UMBC ============================================================== = A Mind is a Terrible Thing to have Leaking Out Your Ears = = -The League of Sadistic Telepaths = ==============================================================
