Game Story
This golf game is very popular. Several of my retail customers ask if I can get one for them. I finally had an opportunity to acquire a complete, but not working unit. This is way out of my normal area of expertise. The monitor is big, the game is running on hardware that is dedicated and more home computer. The power supply is an ATX, the PCB sports a VGA card, the graphics are on a HDD and the unit needs a bill acceptor. This will be a learning experience.
This unit is restored as a Golden Tee fore! 2004 with the 7 course pack. It is now available for Retail sale at $1000.
I updated to 2005 Complete. It now has all 26 courses.
