About True Golf Classics: Pebble Beach Golf Links
Players take on the challenge of one of the most beautiful and notorious golf courses in the world: Pebble Beach. These eighteen-holes demand accuracy, finesse, and even at times brute strength. The famous beach-side course is littered with sand-bunkers as well as sweeping fairways and cliff-side greens. Game play takes a classic approach - players control a selected golfer from a third-person perspective. Swing-control is displayed as a power and accuracy meter with which players must start and stop accordingly. Again, the classic-style putting system, complete with a topographic grid, lets the player know of the slope and elevation of the three-dimensional putting surface. As there are no other courses to play, this game is a tribute and testament to the challenging course-design of Pebble Beach Golf Links.

A detailed golf simulation that is cheap on the Genesis.
T&E Soft developed and Sega published Pebble Beach Golf Links, the Genesis version of a game that began on the Super NES. It reached Japan on 29 October 1993, Europe on 23 September 1994 and North America in 1994.
Two Electronic Gaming Monthly reviewers said it was one of the few Genesis golf games that added more than the usual choosing of clubs, power and wind. GameFan called it an incredibly detailed, realistic simulation for purists.
What the press said at the time
“The development team has done a tremendous job of bringing the Polysis 3D system to the Genesis and in tweaking the existing program to make it even better than the SNES version.”
How the Sega Genesis version differs
The Genesis version came in 1993, a year after the Super NES original.
Also on other platforms
Super NES · NEC PC-9801
- Super NES. The game was originally released on the Super NES in 1992.
Before you buy
Among US carts this sits below the median. The European cart usually costs much more than the US one, and the Japanese Mega Drive cart usually costs more too, with a different cartridge shape. A cardboard-box release is priced separately from the plastic-case copy. The cartridge saves to a battery inside it, so test that a save holds; a replaced battery is a normal repair and not a sign of a fake.
