NA VC Update 06/18/07

NESOpen.jpgFore! Why do golfers say that anyway? I heard that the saying used to be “Look out beFORE you get hit by the ball.” Often the ball would strike it unintended target long before that sentence was uttered, so it was shortened to just fore! Why am I talking about golf you ask? Because NES Open Tournament Golf lands on the North American Virtual Console today. NES Open was a pretty decent attempt at a golf game on the NES, something I feel was perfected by Konami in 1990 with Jack Nicklaus’ Greatest 18 Holes of Major Championship Golf. I spent many hours with my uncle playing skins for quarters and every so often my dad would come in and ask “Why can you shoot 5 under par in a silly game but when I take you to a real golf course you shoot a score in the high 150s?” That’s my dad, I thank him for trying to understand technology but this is the second year I’ve had to re-connect his surround sound system because he went and played with it. So this year I gave him a standing order not to touch the cables with out my supervision.

Happy Fathers Day Pop!
