If Hollywood ever decides to turn this game into a movie I will be first in line to see it. Because it will break all box office records. This could be the big break Clint Eastwood has been waiting for.
Developed by BlueSky Software for the Atari 7800, Ninja Golf combines a traditional golf game with side-scrolling beat’em up gameplay.
Simply aim your ball and shoot it towards the green. Upon running towards your ball you will encounter various enemies along the way. These enemies include other ninjas, gophers, birds, giant mutant frogs, sharks, snakes, and a whole lot more.
Ninja Golf is one of the last games Atari released before dropping support for the 7800 system in 1990-91.
If you’re a retro game fan looking to play something that has a lot of depth, this isn’t the game for you. The gameplay is very repetitive. The box art gets an A+ though.
Video game collecting has exploded in popularity over the years. It makes me wish I had held on to some of mine. A sealed copy of Ninja Golf can reach into the hundreds of dollars.

The 2002 U.S. Open Golf Tournament was played in Farmingdale, New York on the Bethpage State Park, Black Course. Logo pins for the event began to surface well in advance (a good 9+ months prior). A major change was made that make earlier versions of the pin much more desirable.
At first, the pins initially released featured the skyline of New York City in the background. Both of the World Trade Center Twin Towers can be seen.
After the events of September 11, 2001 the decision to stop selling this pin was made. A new pin emerged which lacked the city skyline.
Earlier pins that contain both World Trade Center Twin Towers carry a hefty premium.
