Think about these videos a lot, a couple of my faves on the entire site. Always nice for a lazy day re-watch.

So, giant mini-golf courses are a thing. I live near one called 19 greens. It's like giant outdoor mini golf. No beer cart lady though, so that's a thing to plan for. But since you only use a putter it looks funny when you bring a golf bag with lots of pockets to hide beer inside.

@Mezmero: I have to assume I was absorbed by TFC at the time and dismissed this game as it was a SIM<something>, and that was somewhat of a plague.

I lost out apparently, I'd by that today if I saw it going at a reasonable price.

Why do so many posted Giant Bomb live archives have such terrible audio lag? I don't mean that in a trite way - I seriously just don't understand it.

Yeah it sucks. They should have figured this out by now.

Indeed.
It usually seems like it either gets progressively worse the longer the stream was, or alternately the first part is fine and all the subsequent parts are out of sync for a set amount of milliseconds.
It's mostly inconsequential in a game like this, and as long as you don't see the talking heads up close, but it's very evident in the beginning when Ryan's fullscreen.
And of course super annoying in a game with more immediate action.

Man, I wanted Doshin the Giant so much when I read about it in SSB Melee. Just cruel to put that trophy in the game when that was never going to come out in the US.

Same goes for Kuru Kuru Kururin.

I agree. When IS Sid Meier going to do another Endurance Run?

Really glad I'm in the back room at work, otherwise my employee would be wondering why I just started guffawing. Well done, ma'am/sir.

I remember seeing the box art to this game and scoffing dismissively. Who would have thought that this would be such a kick ass game? This video is the first time I've seen the game play for SIm Golf and it makes me wish I could have played it on release. I was probably playing TFC, Quake 3, and Tribes around that time on the PC. Don't think I had time to take a breather on a Sim game. This video is great although a bit long. I still kind of want to see a Genesis day premium video but I imagine the coming months are going to be a crazy bananas time for you guys. Continue to put out quality entertainment.

I am lucky a friend just so happens to still own a Sim's Golf disc. Hopefully, it will not take much hassle to get it up and running.

Just boot up your windows 95 PC and run that DOS command.

Dude, the game is from 2002, Windows XP was already out for a year when this came out.

Welcome to the joke. Thanks for coming.

There was a 1995 Sim Golf game. I'm pretty sure the advice would've worked for that one.

This is true.

I love the idea of a running feature with the new sim city, but would an endurance run work? I don't remember there being any end-game to those games, how would they know when to stop? Unless the new games have a campaign of some kind, then I'm on board.

Watching this is driving me crazy. I want to rip the controls away from Ryan and start landscaping. Those trees need to be over there! That driving range is facing the incorrect direction! That snack bar is situated all wrong! :)

Dammit, now I have to play this for the next 2 weeks. Sorry X-com.

Also, I think the electricity sound is the sound of the upgrade groundskeepers getting rid of weeds.

Man its kinda fucked that there is no easy digital way to get this game. Only things that sell it are ebay and third party sellers on amazon. EA has been pretty bad about getting their relatively recent back catalog out digitally.

"My shoe-nose!" What is it that the sprites are saying there??

It's just the "Simlish" jibberish from the Sims games - they are saying "Mashuno!", if you wanted to sound it out exactly.

This game needs an HD re-release on Steam. That, or they need a "Black Mesa"-style redo by a fan, since EA are unlikely to put the game on Steam, or anywhere really. I've still got my disc, and the game still looks decent, but the lack of widescreen is a huge bummer.

This game, Theme Hospital, and Transport Tycoon were my entire life for a while.

Great conclusion. The Alt+F4 joke is timeless.
