Racer Mini Yonku: Japan Cup

Racer Mini Yonku: Japan Cup

Konami

A board game/racing game hybrid based on a miniature RC car toyline. It was developed and published by Konami exclusively for the Japanese Famicom. Racer Mini Yonku: Japan Cup ("Yonku" refers to four-wheel-drive vehicles) is a board game with racing sections in which the player constructs their own RC 4WD car and then races it against CPU opponents in various events, often taking terrain handling into account. It was based on the then-popular mini RC car toy fad in Japan. The title screen credits Tamiya, a Japanese toy manufacturer that focuses on model kits and RC vehicles, and their logo frequently appears in-game. The game was developed by Konami for the Famicom and was never released outside of Japan. The player and the CPU opponents take turns moving over a board and acquiring money and parts for their RC car. Money collected can also be used to purchase new parts. The players' vehicles then race automatically, with the one with the best upgrades usually coming out on top.

Jack Nicklaus' Greatest 18 Holes of Major Championship Golf

Sculptured Software, Accolade, Konami, Cross Media Soft, Victor Musical Industries

Jack Nicklaus' Greatest 18 Holes of Major Championship Golf is a golf-simulation video game developed by Sculptured Software, and published by Accolade in 1988. The game features simulations of eighteen holes from renowned golf courses in the United States, Scotland, and England: Four from Augusta National Golf Club, three from Pebble Beach Golf Links, three from the Old Course at St Andrews, two from the Riviera Country Club, two from Baltusrol Golf Club, one from Oakmont Country Club, one from Merion Golf Club, one from Muirfield, and one from Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club. In addition, the game contains simulations of two complete Nicklaus-designed 18-hole courses: The Castle Pines Golf Club and The Golf Club at Desert Mountain. It also bears the name and likeness of American professional golfer Jack Nicklaus. Less than two years before the game's publication, Nicklaus won the final major golf championship of his career: the 1986 Masters Tournament. Augusta National Golf Club hosted the tournament. Players can compete against Nicklaus as a computer opponent, or any of eight other computer opponents of varying skill levels. Jack Nicklaus' Greatest 18 Holes of Major Championship Golf was a commercial success for Jack Nicklaus Productions and Accolade. The two companies developed it into a video game franchise, and Accolade published numerous adaptations and sequels for more than ten years.
