Top Pro Golf 2 on the Genesis is one of those golf games that just feels right—no fancy gimmicks, just clean, straightforward golf. You pick your club, adjust your aim, and time your swing with this satisfying little power meter. Mess up the timing, and your ball veers off into the rough (or worse, a water hazard).

The courses look great for 16-bit, with little details like trees swaying in the wind and sand traps that actually make you groan when you land in them. I remember spending way too long on the putting greens trying to read the slopes—sometimes the ball does this hilarious slow roll where you think it’s gonna drop, but nope, it teases you and stops an inch short.

It’s got that “one more round” vibe, especially when you’re chasing a personal best or trying to nail a perfect approach shot. If you’ve got a soft spot for old-school sports games, this one holds up surprisingly well.
