Computer Golf , released in 1970, is a classic Magnavox Odyssey 2 game that lets one to four players take turns playing golf. Players control their golfer around the field using the directional stick and hit the ball with the action button. The longer the action button is held, the higher the backswing and the farther the ball goes.
As players swing the club, they need to consider the direction of the ball based on their relative position to it. There's no penalty for swinging the club away from the ball. However, trees in the field will stop the course of the ball, making the golfer angry. If the ball reaches the "rough" (the black area outside the field), the golfer cannot walk on it and will need to hit the ball back into the field.
The game features a unique mechanism where golfers alternate turns only when the precedent golfer goes through the entire hole. The goal is to achieve the lowest score for the nine holes, making Computer Golf a fun and challenging experience for players of all ages.
