Double Eagle

Double Eagle is a video game in the simulation genre developed by Artdink Corporation and published by Artdink Corporation originally released in 1988. It is currently playable on Sharp X68000.

Double Eagle is a golf simulation game. The tagline '2way Golf Simulation' refers to the two game modes to choose from. GOLFLIFE is a career simulation. The player character starts at 20 years and 1 month and 100 yen, and has 30 years in the game to win tournaments, move up the Japan and world rankings, and advance through the classes (amateur class, pro class B, pro class A, and pro class S) before retiring at age 50. There are four statistics: physical, mental, technical and fatigue that affect your performance. To get started you need to buy or rent a club from the pro store. Extra money can be earned by doing one of three side jobs. At the beginning there is a light job, a hard job and a caddie, and as you progress through the lessons, you can do a TV booking and a commercial. Each job pays differently and affects your stats, especially increases fatigue. To get rid of fatigue you can rest at home, in the hot springs or in the hospital. There are also three training options: the gym increases physical stats, the image increases mental stats and the course allows you to practice on courses, thus gaining technique. The game features 40 tournaments, over two or three days, with all participants playing 18 holes each day. Some tournaments also require a qualifying round for the main competition. You are accompanied on the course by 2 or 3 AI players.

PLAYGOLF allows 1-4 players (human and/or AI) to play an 18-hole round. There are 12 courses to choose from, as well as different seasons/conditions: spring, summer, fall, winter and snow. When on the golf course, the action is viewed from a top-down perspective, players can choose the club they want to use, the direction of the shot, how the golf ball curves (fade/draw), as well as adjust the power and accuracy of the shot by stopping a moving bar at the right time. The direction and power of the wind must also be taken into account when making the shot.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
