Miniature Golf for the Atari 2600
Miniature Golf is a simple golf game released for the Atari 2600. It attempts to recreate the popular pasttime and includes a 9-hole course with each hole featuring a different set of obstacles to navigate. The goal is to hit the ball into the hole in as few strokes as possible. To hit the ball, players can position the club using the joystick anywhere around the ball; pressing the button hits the ball which will travel along the trajectory set by the club. The further from the ball the club is, the harder the ball will be hit and the further it goes. To complete a hole, players must get the ball into the hole; there's no limit to the number of strokes that can be taken.

The game can be played by one or two players, and two levels of difficulty are available.
