Jumbo Ozaki No Hole In One Professional (japan) Game
📅 1988 ✍️ HAL Laboratory

This one's a weird little golf sim from HAL Laboratory—yeah, the Kirby guys—back when they were still figuring things out. You get Jumbo Ozaki, this legendary Japanese golfer, pixelated and ready to swing on the NES. The mechanics are pretty basic: pick your club, adjust your aim, and pray the wind doesn’t wreck your shot. It’s got that classic NES jank where putting feels like rolling dice, but there’s something oddly satisfying about nailing a long drive with those chunky graphics.
No English release, so menus are all in Japanese, but if you’ve played any 8-bit golf game before, you’ll fumble through it. Honestly, it’s more of a curiosity than a must-play, but if you’re into obscure sports games or HAL’s early work, it’s a neat time capsule. Just don’t expect PGA Tour-level depth.
