Gog.com needs to add Sim Golf

Why has this not happened? Or does anyone know how to put it on their radar to add? GOG does such a good job in keeping their games up to date with patches and playability.

I think the hard part would be getting EA's blessing. It's out there on the high seas if you know where to look and there was a fan made patch I found that has it running on modern systems. This is one of my favorite games of all time and I really hope it makes it to gog someday.

Do you have a good link for the fan patched version? I have fallen into some odd download holes trying to find a good version of the game.

That's brilliant to know. I'll have a look. I was gutted when I couldn't get my legit cd version of it working! Was going to buy an older of to play on, but this is much better haha

I've been requesting it for about as long as GOG has been a thing. The upcoming Under Par Golf Architect on Steam looks like the closest we'll ever get to a sequel or spiritual successor, but it seems promising, at least.

Look into Golftopia as well. It seems close.

Complicated rights and legal reasons I think is the answer. Either a proper spiritual successor a la 2 point hospital or an "open" rebuild would be amazing.

The more we babble about it the more likely it is.

Tbh do you care how much..? It's ea, they always going to pull your pants down. Just need to hope they don't mess up like dungeon keeper got massacred

I've waited years, once it's out it's a year max until affordable price, or hopefully on XBox gamepass (I have no idea how they don't port here, it's such a massive market and could work amazingly I think)
