PREMISE:          Back in the mid 1980s, Access Software created the first
                  true first-person perspective golfing sim for personal
                  computers - Leaderboard.  Its graphics and gameplay went
                  unmatched for so long that it became the de facto
                  standard for golfing sims for over a decade.  This is the
                  final incarnation of that legendary game, featuring a
                  souped-up game engine and improved graphics that made it
                  the preferred golfing sim among Amiga and Atari ST owners
                  alike.  Every golfing sim since Leaderboard has adapted
                  its style and approach, and the Links series is its
                  direct descendant.

IMPRESSIONS:      There are lots of imitators, and many of its more serious
                  competitors may outstrip it in one or two areas, but
                  no G/MD golfing sim puts it all together as well as this
                  game.  It is an absolute must-have whether you are a
                  golfing fan or a casual gamer - a game historian or a
                  first-time player.  The G/MD port is a surprisingly
                  faithful rendition of the Amiga game, with no discernable
                  differences between the two unless you know what to look
                  for.  It remains the best all-around G/MD golfing sim
                  ever created.
