Introduction

His golf is perfect because he hits the ball with matchless power and at angles calculated using data stored in his highly advanced artificial brain. The engineers whoh created Eagle have an ambition: to participate in a pro golf tournament. But meeting the resistance of other pro-golfers, they reluctantly drop their plan. Eagle misses the chance to display his ability. Their sponsor buys Eagle a golf course and names it the Hyper Golf Club. Eagle is still waiting for challengers. So let's go to Hyper Golf Club. In this club, you can try three kinds of real plays. (Competition, Lesson, Driving Range) Eagle is looking forward to a match with you.

The general theme of Mecarobot Golf is a near-futuristic golf course where humanoid robots are considered to be second-class citizens. A robot named Eagle is banned from participating in the world's professional golfing tournaments due to discrimination. Eagle has the ability to play golf better than a human being, but is denied the chance to play with human individuals. A benefactor purchases Eagle and builds a golf course for him to practice on. The player's skill determine whether humans or robots are truly better at golf. Various modes (lesson, driving range, competition) help the player practice his abilities that he will need in future matches.

Japanese professional golfer Nobuo Serizawa endorsed the Japanese version of the game. However, the Western version of the game replaced his likeness with Eagle the robot. There are two possible background sounds that can be played while golfing; a simple tune for relaxation or a complex melody for "excitement.

Description

In Mecarobot Golf, a mechanical golfer by the name of Eagle was banned from competing in professional human tournaments when it was determined that his mechanical brain that can determine the right angles was an unfair advantage. Instead, the engineers that built Eagle have built him his very own course and the player has taken up the challenge against the mechanical golfer.

The player doesn't get to play as the robot, instead they attempt to beat the robot in a standard 18 rounds of regular golf including weather conditions and obstacles such as sand traps, bunkers, water hazards and trees. Players can also practice their swing on the Driving Range to learn the basics of the game.
