Re: links 2003 how to use slope gauge

If the arrow is up, you're on an upslope and a neutral shot would be shorter. If arrow is down, you're on a downslope and you could hit it longer or skull it in real life, laugh. Left and right arrow determines whether you should aim the opposite way to compensate for the slope.

Re: Newly Renovated Colonial pics! looks amazing

Saw your post Eric and re-visited your Colonial 2020 and enjoyed the round again. Thanks! :)
Out of curiosity is it a 1024x1024 texture course? I saw the database indicating it was but saw some softness in some of the views up close. Cheers -

Re: Is EA getting things right? - Links 2k3 Threat Alert !

My question is in regards to the EA Sports PGA Tour game for PC which I purchased and downloaded yesterday. I played it for the first time using what is apparently the default controller device, the keyboard, but I can't find anywhere in the game menu that allows a player to use a mouse instead of ...

Re: Is EA getting things right? - Links 2k3 Threat Alert !

I'm still experimenting w/ the new EA game for $10. Note there is no Links 2k3 style real time swing via mouse. They force the need for an xbox style controller with its analog sticks for the swing or you can use of the old three click method which I've been trying. I used to use that method before ...

And amusingly enough a few days after my post, it's gone on sale from 70 to 10 bucks, laugh. I think I'll pick it up and take a look.

Re: Is EA getting things right? - Links 2k3 Threat Alert !

the general consensus seemed to be that 2k21 was a lot better than 2k23, not sure if I remember why but I think mostly 2k23 is set up to make you pay for a lot of little things within the game (microtransactions). Main reason I was never interested in them personally was because the ball physics - ...

Re: Is EA getting things right? - Links 2k3 Threat Alert !

So has anyone played this game on Steam in the last year? It caught my eye when I logged back into Steam after quite some time.
Is there anything similar to our RTS method?

FWIW, that other competing 2k23 product is on sale for $15.

Re: New install

You can also avoid some difficulties by pointing the installation to a non-user protected directory like c:\games\Links2K vs. 'program files'.

Re: Looking at downloading the full game from links CC I've got a question

Can I ask is it worth paying a bit extra and downloading the game with all the official courses? Looks like there are a lot of user courses that are better looking! For a lot of us it's the nostalgia factor, I played these original official courses into the ground when they came out the first time ...

Re: Links 2003 surface laptop win 10

What Surface rev.? As they're integrated Intel graphic chips, you'll probably need the Voodoo/DX wrapper referenced in the stickied post.
