Peter Jacobsen's Golden Tee 3D Golf
Peter Jacobsen's Golden Tee 3D Golf is a video game developed and published by Incredible Technologies for the arcade. It was later ported to PlayStation and Windows. It is based on the popularity of golfer Peter Jacobsen.
Gameplay
Peter Jacobsen's Golden Tee 3D Golf is a golf game featuring a trackball, and three 18-hole golf courses. The game allows for up to 4 players at a time, and in the case of 2 players of more, allows you to play Stroke Play or Skins mode. These games always have 3 different courses per revision, with hittable trees or objects, lakes and cliffs. Golden Tee 3D Golf was used as the basis for the next games of the series until Golden Tee Fore, with the next games being mostly the same except with different courses.
Home versions
The PSX and PC games, simply called Peter Jacobsen's Golden Tee Golf are based on Golden Tee '97, sharing some of the menu assets and the courses on it, but also include 3 new extra courses. The PSX version includes some extra modes and hole overviews on the start of each hole, but as there isn't any analog controller for PSX, the trackball controls were replaced, as you hold Down in the D-Pad to adjust the power of your backswing. Meanwhile, the PC version had support for LAN and Online, as well as Shadow Games that you could save and share to then play with a player from a previously saved shadow game as if it was playing with you. It also uses the mouse for analog input, allowing you to move the mouse backwards to adjust the backswing, and then forward to swing it.
Reception
In North America, RePlay reported Peter Jacobsen's Golden Tee 3D Golf was the seventh most-popular arcade game on location at the time. Next Generation reviewed the arcade version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "This is a great golfing game that's even fun for anti-golfers."
