^C^1Zany Golf

    Anyone who loves miniature golf needs to buy this game. The graphics for 
 the golf course, of which you only see approximately one-fifth of onscreen, 
 are superbly done in 3-D -- especially in VGA mode.

    Briefly, the game is a series of nine multi-screen miniature golf courses 
 which you putt a golf ball around in order to get it into the hole that is 
 located somewhere on the course.  Each course is animated with accompanying 
 sound (which may, and should, be turned off) and putting control is 
 accomplished through a mouse, joystick, or the keyboard.  Before playing each 
 hole, you get an overhead view of the entire hole and are shown the best path 
 to get the ball to the hole. 

    Each hole is well executed and many of them are completely insane.   
 They excel in hiding the fact that they are mini-golf holes.  The holes end 
 with the ball going into the hole that has a flag in it, but that's where the 
 similarity ends. 

     I could go on and on about the game, but go buy it and enjoy it 
 yourself. It is easy enough for a six-year-old, but it is entertaining for 
 all age groups. 

     Much credit goes to Will Harvey and his team at SandCastle Productions 
 for producing such a masterpiece. In closing, I have only one hint for you: 
 there is a tenth hole that is reachable by a certain action on the ninth 
 hole.  Hint #2: the mouse. 

     The IBM version of Electronic Arts' ZANY GOLF is for 1-4 players, 
 requires 384K of memory, EGA, VGA or Tandy 16 color, supports keyboard, 
 joystick, and mouse, and has a list price of $39.95.
