Hot Shots Golf

Hot Shots Golf has hardly changed in the years since it released, and that's because Camelot hit the sweet spot with its very first swing. While later entries refined the gameplay and ultimately made it more forgiving, the series' sickly sweet centre is still present and correct in this inaugural instalment. Importantly, it'd go on to form the foundation for dozens upon dozens of arcade golf games afterwards – including, perhaps most notably, the many Mario Golf titles.
