Well here we are! It's Neo Geo series time! Because damn it...it's my favorite retro gaming platform of all time and I've been collecting for the Neo Geo AES for years! As far as retrogaming collecting goes...it's not cheap, but don't forget...you can always get the 1:1 experience on MiSTer FPGA, which is how I am playing this now!

Up next: Neo Turf Masters. Made by the same developers (Nazca) that made Metal Slug 1, Metal Slug 2, Metal Slug X and Metal Slug 3...its just the best golf video game ever made! Forget Golden Tee. Forget any licensed golf gaming on home consoles....this is seriously just the best sports game ever made and it may be one of the best games of all time on the Neo Geo!
Oh and in Japan its known as Big Tournament Golf
Plus I had a little fun with this video ;)
And if you don't own a Neo Geo or a MiSTer...play it on Final Burn Neo...it emulates extremely well! Just play with some friends as it's a blast as a multiplayer game!

On the gween!
iconic bit!
Neo turf masters was the first game I got on my Nintendo switch. No regrets.
It would be impossible to regret that decision
It's amazing how smooth that golf swing is!
It def has a good amount of frames of animation
It’s funny how many golf games decided the clicking on a moving meter thing is like the way to do it. Like it feels a bit arbitrary and if a couple decisions had been made differently in the early games all the rest of them would be different too
Yes...someone, in an office somewhere forever ago, set the tone for how golf games work and its stuck. Then arcades went with a track ball that is a palm mauler
Karl Marx wrote in 1852,"Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. *The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living.*"
He, of course, was talking about video games.
Lolol I was wondering where this was going
Got this game on the steamdeck and I’ve been addicted to it
Its the type of game you lose hours to and dont even realize it
You sold me! Gotta try this!
100%. You’ll love it
This one sure is a blast. I enjoy this and League Bowling all the time on my hacked MVSX cabinet. What a fun time with a friend and a few beers. I love the announcements and sound effects as well as the fantastic music.
Its always better with friends and beers. Just like the actual game of golf...highly improved with drinks
Great to see this game getting some love. My favourite NeoGeo game. I play it a LOT! Also when I first saw the title, I loaded it because I thought it was a horse racing game. Wound up discovering my favourite NeoGeo game.
Fav of all time. High praise!
This is my favorite golf game as well. The only thing it's missing is a 9 hole or quick game mode.
I wish they’d make a modern sequel. My Xmas wish for next year
I knew you were a good dude...I found the channel via your N64 core updates, but making THIS video puts you on another level. This is 100% the best golf game.
Haha looking through the rest of my videos! Appreciate it
Great game! Thanks for you review. My brother download the rom and we play a while with the emulator
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Honestly, a pretty good score for someone golfing with an eye patch.
Hahaha Snake Plissken can do anything
I play this and baseball stars as much as any Neo Geo game. They are both tough but super rewarding. Animations and music are incredible.
The Neo Geo has great sports games. Like way better than you'd expect from a system predominately known for fighting games
I bought the Arcade Archives release of this game (which for some reason goes by its alternate title, Big Tournament Golf) last time it went on sale, and I was completely addicted for at least 2 weeks! 😁
It’ll get its hooks into you for sure
I love the high-detail pixel graphics and cool perspective windows in Neo Turf Masters/Big Tournament Golf. Awesome presentation all around, and one of the best sources of meme reaction images I've seen
The MEME potential is huge. That is for sure. But shouldn't you be playing Bonestorm?
This looks slightly more enjoyable to play then Arnold Palmer Tournament Golf on the Genesis which I find is the best Golf game I have played. This Neo Geo game was buyable on the Series X a few months ago.
This is the best golf game ever. No questions asked
The only golf games that come close to this are mario golf 64, mario golf advance, and everybody's golf on the ps4.
Neo turf masters is unrivalled God tier golf game
I really wish a company like pix n love would do a collectors edition of this with a aes style shockbox like they've done with some neo geo games. Please make it happen 🙏
That would be a fun release. Maybe one day
I played it yesterday! Thanks
👍
Neo Turf masters has that GOOD jazz fusion. IYKYK.
It’s a solid soundtrack no question
One of my go to's on the neo Geo. Graphics look really good too!
Yes the sprite work is awesome
I'm slightly obsessed by this game, I have a cheeky round pretty much every Sunday morning 😂
Its the type of game you sit down to play for 30 minutes and lose three hours to
"OH NO!" (I hear that voice way too much when playing. LOL)
Haha that’ll happen
I've always enjoyed simple golf games. HAL's Hole in One Golf on the SNES was one of my go-to golf games back in the day. I later also enjoyed the various Mario Golf games.
Golf is a weirdly entertaining genre of video games
Weirdly there are a LOT of good golf games
I can see you are a man of culture. Subbed.
A man who knows a good golf game that’s for sure
I love Neo Turf Masters VGE. What a fun Golf title that really showed why the sport isn't a waste of time like many feel it is. Have to admit, I always like Golf and use to spend a good amount of tokens in the arcades to play it. Worth it for sure bro.
Also VGE, thank you for sharing your Neo Turf Masters upload on the Neo-Geo thread. To show my gratitude, I shared the same video on your thread for others to see and support your works as always. Always a pleasure to do so for you my good man. 8^)
Anthony...
Happy to do it! Lots more Neo Geo coming!
When I brought my mister to a friend, who had a neo geo back in the day, for the first time, this was the literally first game he insited we play together.
It really is a blast!
As it should be. It’s one of the first games any mister owner should play
100% agree. This game is insanely playable. I always end up back on this especially for a 10-15m window of time :)
My problem is I plan on playing it for 10-15 minutes and suddenly two hours goes by and I can’t even figure out how that happened
Yep, absolutely agree. Love this one. Still my favorite arcade-style golf game. ON DA GWEEEEEEN!!
On Da Gween!
This game is amazing. My brother and I play it all the time. We play the port on my Xbox series S
Its even better as a two player game
@@VideoGameEsoterica yeah I have the ports for it, metal slug, metal slug x, and metal slug 3. All amazing games to play some couch co-op with!
Neo Geo is one of the best systems for 2P games
you are correct, this is the best golf game ever,
And always will be!
Great game! Love this on the MiSTer
Everyone with a MiSTer should play it at least once
i love this game!!
Who doesn’t? It’s impossible not to love :)
Great video, you're f@#king hilarious 🤣🤣 well worth checking this game out and it's got beautiful pixel art, I've got an Amiga here but emulation will most obviously get me into this game 👍✊
Assuming you enjoyed the Kurt Russell? Haha
@@VideoGameEsoterica The Kurt Russell references were a brilliantly nice touch, you've got the gift of witty humour 🤣🤣🤣
Haha glad it hit
@@VideoGameEsoterica
Certainly did mate, guaranteed you a sub from me 👍✊😁
Haha appreciate it
Not a fave of mine, But I dont like golf games!
That being said I appreciate the quality of it.
The quality is legit
Not a fave of mine, But I dont like golf games!
That being said I appreciate the quality of it.
That’s fair :)
I respectfully disagree, Ninja Golf is the best golf game ever.
That’s a bit for sure. But this is still the best there has ever been
I'm as big a fan of Mario Golf 64 as you are of this game, but I want to try this game out someday.
However, I agree - Kurt Russel is the greatest. No arguments accepted otherwise.
Well as long as you like Kurt Russell I like you lol
Nasca doing what comes naturally to them - i.e. deliverying an arcade masterpiece!!
Best Golf game ever? VERY POSSIBLY (Everybody's Golf says Hi!). I'll admit that up until I got a multicart, Top Player's Golf got all my attention as I have a physical copy and it's a decent game that's definitely under appreciated ~ especially when it's up against Turf Masters/Big Tournament Golf.
I thought I left a similar comment on this last week? Obviously NOT! 🤐
Everybody’s Golf is always a good time
Pandora Emulator Got It!
TurfMasters Wilford Brimley is the only thing holding this one back for me... I mean Kurt but not Wilford? Travesty
Wilford would be nice
It is a great game! It might not be as deep as the PGA tour golf games but the graphics and animations are nice, the courses look cool. It's tough but a lot of fun.
It’s a perfect arcade golf game. Exactly what you want and nothing more
I'm not into golf at all yet somehow I absolutely love this game. That's how good it is
Best golf game ever made!
This is an awesome game, you should try Mario Golf on the n64. It’s still one of the best “non serious” golf games.
Always a fun time. I like that there is a sub-genre of “goofy golf games” in gaming
The twitch streamer LordBBH played this last night. What a crazy coincidence
That is a coincidence. I love when that happens
Fun game! I wish Happy Gilmore and other golfers were selectable characters lol
Someone could do a rom hack!
I bought it for the mvs for 50 euro 5 months ago so i can complete my small collection. I hope one day to play it with friends at home. It is a must have on the system if you can find it.
Yes it’s absolutely a must have. Essential Neo Geo status
This is Nelsie's report!
Haha people love that part this morning
@@VideoGameEsoterica I love the voices in this game man.
The voices, the sound effects…the music. All iconic
MVS copies are still pretty reasonable all things considered...
For Neo Geo definitely. MVS cabs were plentiful
I only know about this game because of Homo-genius. Looks fun.
Have not heard of them?
I live on the East Coast and have no interest in playing so I'll not meet you for golf anytime.
There’s drinks involved
kurt russell forever! I love that this game is on all consoles now.
Kurt Russell is a national treasure
🥰 Great Content! Endless enjoyment.
Glad you enjoyed
Agreed, I fking hate golf but this games is epic
I love golf in real life. Sport of kings. There is a cocktail cart after all
After Everybody's Golf
Nah
You have a very healthy Kurt Russell obsession
I mean c’mon…it’s Kurt
The US MVS carts can still be gotten from anywhere between 40- 80 bucks. It's not so bad. Anything more is just getting ripped off.
Yes. It’s once you get to AES where the price gets spicy
Or you could just play it with MAME for free.
Sure and that’s a great option. Some people still like having the game on the shelf
That is clearly Steve Irwin, not Kurt Russell. This is perhaps my favourite golfing game on retro consoles, although I do also have fond memories of Arnold Palmer on the Megadrive.
Steve Irwin? You gotta get your eyes checked. That’s Jack Burton my friend
@@VideoGameEsoterica Well, you know what ol' Jack Burton says at a time like this?
Give me your best shot pal. I can take it
Best golf game EVER. I had some friend sober and tried to have a Neo Geo game night/party and everybody just kept complaining that there isn't a track ball like Golden Tee.
Posers.
We actually used to play Golden Tee every single weekend at the bar back in the day, but this is way better.
Track ball is fun till you break your wrist 😂 there is nothing wrong with Golden Tee. Tons of fun. Just not as good as this
@@VideoGameEsoterica One of my same friends always hits the screen on golden tee as well, so if anything, Turf Masters is actually saving his fingers.
Golden Tee must have a high percentage of injuries per play
Oh hell ya this looks awesome
Have you never played!?
@@VideoGameEsoterica naw man, I was 12 years old with a PS1 and had never even heard of anyone who owned a Neo Geo. Besides what was in the arcades my exposure was zero until pretty recently. This will definitely get loaded up onto the Mister with my buddies, it looks exactly up our alley.
We lost an entire summer to Hot Shots gold Fore in like 2003 so I really can’t wait to load this up.
Well enjoy it when you play it. It’s legendary good
Hot Shots Golf is a great time too
It’s on the Green!! I bought my USA region MVS cartridge many years ago. Much cheaper than the AES version.
people have determined that this morning it is spelled "gween"
@@VideoGameEsoterica lol
Mostly with eight or more E’s. Such as “on the gweeeeeeeen”
Lol, if I went to Chicago & met you IRL to give you any golf pointers, your sports ball skills will decline sharply.
Hahaha. I am V good at golf. Weird skill
@@VideoGameEsoterica I've never played real golf. Only mini. But that's enough to know how bad I am at aiming a golf ball.
haha they are slightly different...but you can drink while doing both so
Ok I’m gonna give this game another go.
100% I demand it
Best golf game ever no doubt
100%
This is Nancy’s report
Nancy loves her reports
Bro...Arnold Palmer Tournament Golf on the Sega Genesis. *Drops mic* 😂
Amazing video as always man. You are the damn best.
Haha. I like the drink
Another great video! The Japanese version, however, is not cheap or easy to find by any means. Even if you are able to find a legit Japanese version, you are looking at at least $8,500. There is actually one on Yahoo Japan right now (authenticity not confirmed btw) that’s at about $10k with 3 days left and 149 bids, and that’s with the current super weak Yen.
Yeah. Def not worth that lol
Big Tymers unite!
Hahaha
Germany is my ringtone
That’s a solid ring tone
I haven't played it so much even tho, it looks amazing. But the ost is reaaaally amazing. I always lister to blue lagoon course- Australia song. It's magic.
The music is all top notch for sure
I usually think golf games are among the most boring genre on any platform but this game is certainly the exception. Just so well made in every way possible
I get that. It takes golf and makes it fun
Great game
One of the best
This game is indeed amazing. Easily the best golf game ever made. The Neo Geo pocket version is also great.
Yes the NGP version is legit as well
Looks very cool
Its the best
@@VideoGameEsoterica 😊
Def play it if you never have
@@VideoGameEsoterica i will do it my friend
I appreciate you always go and try the games on the channel. You probably play the most if anyone based on recommendations
Ok, not big on golf games but I'll definitely check this one out
Yes it’s a blast. Def play it
@@VideoGameEsoterica I'm happy to report I actually love this game so far, I don't know anything about golf but this game has been very easy to pickup and play, I absolutely love the music, I'm surprised this one didn't have sequel, I played with both the Neogeo CD and arcade version for the last hour and prefer the music of the CD but honestly it's only a slight improvement as the original arcade is outstanding
I knew you’d enjoy it
Both are great versions too. Can’t go wrong with either
Ruff
lol
i learned this game from watching tas run
Oh Ive never actually watched a TAS of it. Gonna have to do that today
@@VideoGameEsoterica its so good especially how they make use of the terrain to get the maximum possible distance
I know what I am doing this afternoon then
This is one of my favourite games on the Neo Geo, great graphics, great sound, great controls. The most "arcadey" golf game ever!
No the most arcadey golf game ever was def Lee Carvelo's Putting Challenge
@@VideoGameEsoterica Would you like to play again?
You have selected "No."
Bonestorm was more my jam
ON THE GWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
lol someone else commented the same thing. Yet no mention of Kurt yet
@@VideoGameEsoterica ON THE GWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
You win. You used more E's
@@VideoGameEsoterica on the gween.
these exchanges are probably what pinged invalid traffic lolol
This is low key one of my favorite Neo Geo titles.
And in my opinion, the best golf game ever made! Bold statement I know but, It’s so friendly to the player, and the controls are very intuitive. This game is in my regular rotation. Surprisingly Nazca never made a sequel to this.. incredible game
Oh I 100%. This is the best golf game of all time
Try the golfer from the UK (the technician) the precision his shots provide are incredible, if you haven’t in a bit guaranteed it will amaze you how much more control he offers.. IMO 👍🏻
But he doesn’t look like Kurt Russell
@@VideoGameEsoterica
True no Jack Burton, or snake pliskin
Lol 😂
Or Santa Clause 🤣
No idea why it's been retroactively renamed Big Tournament Golf I know it's the Japanese name but Neo Turf masters is so much better
This is one of the Dreamcast CDI neo cd games that I need to Archive.
This is Nawncy's Repwort.
It is odd it’s taken on the other name when it’s so much better known as Neo Turf Masters
It was my first download to the Switch when I got it. I saw it update and fire it up and I'm like "Nooooo it's Neo Turf masters you can't just rename it like that"
What's next Resident Evil being Biohazard everywhere or Yakuza being Like a Dragon...
Haha good point
And Yakuza 3 isn't even half the golf game Neo Turf masters is.
100 foot Robot golf on PS4 and Steam is a good contender but nothing else has even come close. Outlaw Golf was OK I guess
Haha I do love the Yakuza franchise though. Have every game in it on its own shelf
Recently got the mistr and absolutely loving neo geo and this game with the 8bitdo neo geo pad,
8BitDo really did a good job with that controller
One of the hardest
the challenge is the sweet spot for me
@@VideoGameEsoterica fuck that best I've ever shot was a -3 it's to hard
neo geo , good music good game play, good playabillity, i also love league bowling.
League bowling is awesome too
Spent hours on this game, great game
You can lose an eternity to it when you get into a groove
