Golf is a sports video game released by Nintendo for the Japanese Famicom on May 1, 1984. Co-developed by Nintendo R&D2 and HAL Laboratory, it was designed by Shigeru Miyamoto and programmed solely by Satoru Iwata. Its innovative swing power and accuracy gauge became a standard for later golf games. Players can choose single or two-player mode to compete on an 18-hole course. A global hit with over 4 million copies sold, it ranks among the most iconic Famicom games.
