About True Golf Classics: Wicked 18

Wicked 18 is a golf game with a twist. The player takes control of a golfer on the most extreme 18 holes of golf with tall mountains, canyons and various objects and obstacles ready to stop the player at any time. There are four different game modes to choose from: Stroke, Match, Skin and Tournament with the ability to play against three other friends in a heated match. There is also a battery back-up that saves the players progress after each hole is completed.

Sega Genesis prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A Japan-only Mega Drive golf game set on a deliberately brutal fictional course.

On the Mega Drive this game is called New 3D Golf Simulation: Devil's Course. It was made by T&E Soft, published by Sega and released only in Japan, on 28 January 1994. It is the Mega Drive release of the game known in other markets as True Golf Classics: Wicked 18, which takes place on a very difficult, entirely fictitious course rather than a real one.

How the Sega Genesis version differs

The Mega Drive version came after the original Super Famicom and Super NES releases, along with a 3DO version.

Before you buy

The cartridge saves to a battery inside it, so check that the save holds; a replaced battery is a normal repair and not a sign of a fake. Japanese cartridges are a different shape and do not fit a Western console without an adapter or removing two plastic tabs in its slot.
