IT'S NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE SEGA-GENESIS

Category: Golf Simulation 
Price and Availability: Sega Genesis - $59.95

SAN JOSE, Calif.-JULY 9, 1993--Accolade, publishers of the award-winning
line of Jack Nicklaus computer golf simulations, today announced the
release of Jack Nicklaus' Power Challenge Golf, the company's first golf
simulation for the Sega Genesis. The newest member to the most successful
line of golf simulations on the market, Jack Nicklaus' Power Challenge
Golf is developed in association with Jack Nicklaus and Jack Nicklaus
Productions. It features two Nicklaus designed courses and fully-digitized
golfers, including Jack Nicklaus himself. Jack Nicklaus' Power Challenge
Golf is scheduled to release later this month at a suggested retail price
of $59.95.

The gameplay more than lives up to the Nicklaus standard of highest
quality. Players can challenge two of Jack's finest course designs --
water intensive English Turn Golf Club (New Orleans), home of the USF&G
Classic, and rugged Sherwood Country Club (Thousand Oaks, CA), site of the
annual Greg Norman Shark Shootout. Or, players can choose to play at
Baltusrol Golf Club in New Jersey, site of this year's U.S. Open. The game
features the widest variety of golf shots, Accolade's acclaimed and
easiest-to-use "Power Bar" interface, as well as complete statistics for
individual players which are updated after every round. Players can select
from a variety of options including the ability to play alone or against 3
other human or computer controlled opponents; compete in stroke, skins or
tournament play; or practice on the driving range and the putting green.

The program also features a Tournament mode with an option to play against
the computer, or up to a maximum of three other human players. Players can
also customize computer players so they play just like the real pros on
the tour. Using the helpful onscreen tape measure feature, players can
read the exact distance between their ball and any other object or
location on the hole. Players will find this especially useful when
deciding which club to use, based on the distance they need to smack the
ball.

The game contains music and a wide variety of digitized sound effects,
including the natural sound of the ball splashing in to the water, or
sailing onto the green. With the crowd cheering them on throughout the
game, players will feel like they have an audience witnessing their every
shot. Further, the game adjusts ball trajectories to account for club
selection and loft, as well as for terrain contours. More realistic ball
landings, rolls and bounces, along with fast, easy gameplay give players
the most complete video game golf experience available.

"My sons and I have enjoyed the competition of playing all of the Accolade
computer golf products," said Jack Nicklaus. "I'm looking forward to
playing this new video game against my sons. It has been designed to be
easy and incredibly fun to play ... exactly what golf should be."
