Well, to be honest, the graphics in SimGolf are looking a world nicer than those of civ3.

Yin - know that screenshots have been posted on the Firaxis website, would you say we're still seeing alpha graphics?

[yin26]

Seemed to me those looked much sharper, don't you think?

[Zanzin]

Yeah, but they're still.....yucky, if you know what I mean.

[yin26]

I do, actually. Nothing impressive yet by far. Serviceable? Sure. Anything to be excited about? (...rhetorical question...)

Here's an idea for Sid's golf game. Part of managing the course would be to stomp out those predators that keep ruining the green. I mean all those pesky dinosaurs that keep running around that you often see on any old everyday golf course. Thus Sid effectively kills two games with one microchip and adds a real touch of realism to the game.

Now that You mention it, the colours of SimGolf DO look better than the colours in the CivIII map shots seen so far...

There could also be pesky Mongols invading Your course, You would have to bribe them in the Diplomacy screen so that they go away. Or was that the Golf Course city improvement in Civ III that deters Mongols? Or Dinosaurs? Or what? I guess that SimGolf idea is so exciting it has shut down my brain...
