In Pro 18: World Tour Golf, the player has the option to play as or against eight world-class professional golfers: Dottie Pepper, Laura Davies, Mark O'Meara, Colin Montgomerie, Ian Woosnam, Tom Lehman, Vijay Singh and Jesper Parnevik. An option to create and edit players (human or computer) and designate the size of your playing group (1 to 4 players) complements the five available formats. Multi-player options to play over the Internet, a modem link or network allow for strokeplay, tournament, shoot-out, skins and four-ball competition.

Adjustable or random weather conditions, a practice option and television-style commentary by Peter Alliss and Bobby Clampett of CBS are featured along with four nicely modeled courses, including a bonus (expansion) course, Royal Birkdale. Rounding out the course foursome is Idaho's Coeur d'Alene, South Africa's Lost City Golf Course and Royal County Down Golf Course in Northern Ireland.

Pro 18: World Tour Golf uses a 4-click double-gauge "ProSwing Meter" designed to emulate a precise golf shot consisting of power (distance), snap (direction) and amount of spin (fade or draw). Two additional methods available for swinging are the standard 3-click meter and a mouse-controlled swing. Both methods, meter or mouse, can be utilized on the putting surface. The player can choose either amateur (less realistic) or professional status when creating his/her on-screen persona along with other customizable options such as shaft type (graphite or steel), iron type (cavity or blade) and ball type (2 or 3 piece ball) and color (white or yellow).

Additional features include changeable green speed, length of rough, course conditions, a caddie guide, pin positions (during strokeplay and tournaments only), tee positions, autoplay, green analysis (for putting) and a realistic honors system where applicable, as well as options for "gimmes" and mulligans. A minimum resolution of 1024x768 is required.

On the course, a "shot designer" provides a targeting system that shows both the apex and anticipated landing location of cleanly struck shots in increments of 100Ͽ75Ͽ50Ͽr 25Ͽn conjunction with the aiming arrow. Tournaments begin with a field of 72-golfers (68 computer-controlled and up to four human players) and, after two rounds, a cut is made with only the top 36 players plus ties surviving to compete in rounds three and four. A complete sudden death playoff procedure is activated in the event of a tie at the end of 72 holes. Pre-set "money" prizes are awarded for places one through thirty-six in tournament play as well as for skins and shoot-out competitors.

For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']

WHAT YOU GET:

This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

  • Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
  • Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
  • Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.


  • SHIPPING:

    We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

    International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
