Links 2001

The venerable golf simulation from Access (nee Microsoft) returns.

New features in this updated version include new graphics and ball physics, new courses and tour players, centimeter accurate greens, custom club distances; faster, easier online play and golfers that each have their own personalities.

Included in the game are some of your favourite golfing heros, Arnold Palmer, Sergio Garcia and Annika Sörenstam to mention a few. Play as them or against them.

There are six world-class courses featured in the game, San Diego's Aviara, Canada's Chateau Whistler, The Prince Course on Kauai, Hawaii; Westfields Golf Club, St Andrews Old Course and Mesa Roja fantasy course. More courses can be downloaded for free from the Web.

Also included in the game is the Arnold Palmer Course Designer. Build your dream course, from the tee to the fairway to the hole.

Links LS: 1998 Edition

Links LS 1998 Edition is the first game in the Links series to run in native Windows 95 mode. "Look ahead" rendering sees the game predict where your next shot will be from, reducing redraw times. There are two new offline tournaments for a total of six, and an internet play mode. Perhaps in response to Tiger Woods' success at the time, a black-skinned golfer is added to this version. You now view other golfers on the main play screen, and the action is tracked by 8 smart cameras. New visual enhancements include water reflections, waving flags, blimps, balloons, airplanes and environmental haze and fog.

Links LS 1999

Featuring St Andrews Links - Old Course, and many new features, Links LS 1999 is a gleaming addition to the Links franchise. Other courses include Bay Hill Club and Lodge, Latrobe Country, and Entrada at Snow Canyon. Multimedia tours of the courses are available for you to enjoy.

A new tournament environment brings crowd galleries to the course. The additions of real-time voice and spectator mode enhance online play. In this version, you can even create your own sound script if you want, adding your own comments to the soundscape.

Links 2004

Links, the best-selling golf franchise for the personal computer, has been rebuilt—from the ground up—exclusively for the Xbox video game system. Links 2004 delivers one of the most realistic and competitive golf experiences for Xbox. Golf fans worldwide can compete online in friendly matches with old golfing buddies or compete in tournaments against the best golfers in the world via Xbox Live. Links 2004 also features top championship courses and top professionals, including cover athlete Sergio Garcia.

Links: The Challenge of Golf

Links redefined what golf on the PC should look and play like; it migrated golf from a sports game to a simulation. Good use of VGA's 256 colors made for a realistic course with trees, water, sandtraps, and the fairway. The addition of ball physics, mulligans, changing the lie of the ball, real digitized environmental sounds (even through the PC speaker), and the ability to view a replay (even from multiple angles) gave PC golf games a new echelon of quality to match.

Links 2003

The newest version for the Links golf series featuring new swing types like the real time swing, ultimate realistic graphics, career play playing with real golf players or created ones, a strong multiplayer community increases the online play experience and a practice facility for the new players.

Links 386 CD

This is an updated version of Links 386 Pro which retains its Harbour Town Golf Links and adds a previously released add-on: either Championship Course - Banff Springs (US release) or Championship Course - The Belfry (European release). Multimedia enhancements include aerial flyby's with music and commentary, additional comments by comedian Bobcat Goldthwait (your personal caddie). The game now tracks better the add-on courses and they can be played off the CD.
