NES Open Tournament Golf is one of those classic NES sports games that somehow nails the feel of golf without overcomplicating things. You pick from three courses—U.S., Japan, or U.K.—and decide whether to play stroke or match play, solo or with a friend. The overhead view helps you line up shots and pick clubs, then it switches to this weirdly charming 3D perspective when you actually swing.

The power meter is straightforward but sneaky—tap to start, tap again for power, then one last time to adjust your slice or hook. Mess up that timing, and suddenly you're in the rough wondering where it all went wrong. And thank goodness for the battery backup, because let’s be real, nobody finishes 18 holes in one sitting.

It’s got that old-school Nintendo polish, where the mechanics just work, even if the graphics are pixelated. If you’ve ever wanted to yell at a tiny golfer for missing a putt, this is your game.
