Ninja Golf is a beat-em-up / sports title that's exclusive to the Atari 7800 console.
+ On-screen map is super handy for planning your route, as well as showing your proximity in relation to the ball.
+ Beat-em-up sections are very reminiscent of Kung-Fu Master (1989, Atari 7800), with combat having a rhythmic flow.
+ Good range of enemies (some unique to each playing surface) and the neat parallax scrolling doesn't affect performance.
+ Plenty of items available to give you a fighting chance, and the limited shurikens are helpful for long-range attacks.
- Golfing aspect is rather basic and it's a shame that putting wasn't included to increase the drama at the end of each hole.
- Bosses are repetitive with easily exploitable attack patterns, and the lack of in-game music lessens the atmosphere.
