The player starts by putting in the name and selecting a color and is then thrown into a miniature golf course. When hitting the mini-golf ball it moves around the little course until it gets into a hole. Several stage/course obstacles include giant cactuses and a little pond are in the way.[2]

Development and release

[edit]

Krazy Ace was programmed in 1991 but not released until late 1993 by Telegames.[citation needed] The game was released in very small quantities and as of a result of this, the game has become very sought-after by collectors and gamers alike. A complete copy today is worth around $450 making it one of the most expensive Atari Lynx titles ever officially released.[citation needed]

Reception

[edit]

Robert Jung reviewed the game which was published to IGN. In his final verdict he wrote "Krazy Ace Miniature Golf is a good miniature golf game, but not a great one; the card's major flaw is the lack of variety in the course and the game itself. With merely passable graphics and sound, this is a decent game to divert yourself for a little while, but there's almost nothing here to keep you on this krazy kourse for the long term." Giving a final score of 6 out of 10.[4]
