'''''[[wikipedia:Naomichi Ozaki|Naomichi Ozaki]] no Super Masters''''' (尾崎直道のスーパーマスターズ) is a 1989 golf game by [[Sega]] for the [[Sega Mega Drive]]. When brought overseas, it was renamed '''''[[wikipedia:Arnold Palmer|Arnold Palmer]] Tournament Golf'''''.
+
'''''Ozaki Naomichi no Super Masters''''' (尾崎直道のスーパーマスターズ), known outside of Japan as '''''Arnold Palmer Tournament Golf''''' (or simply '''''Arnold Palmer Golf''''' in manuals), and on home computers as the even more simple '''''Tournament Golf''''', is a [[Sega Mega Drive]] golf game developed by [[Sega R&D 6]] and published by [[Sega]]. Sponsored by professional golfer [[wikipedia:Naomichi Ozaki|Naomichi Ozaki]] in Japan, and [[Arnold Palmer]] elsewhere, the game was first released in Japan in September 1989, later localized and brought to the United States the next month, and eventually saw a European release in January 1991.
  
−
The game is a typical 3D golf game. Use the D-pad to first select your club, then to aim your shot using the map on the left side of the screen. Hit {{A}} to initiate the swing. A meter with a blue bar and a green bar will appear on the top right corner of the screen. Hit {{A}} when the meter hits the desired point on the blue bar to determine the strength of the shot, then hit {{A}} again when the meter hits the desired point on the green bar to determine the height of the shot. Should you go too high over par on any hole, the entire game ends and you must start again at the beginning.
+
In 1990, the game was ported to [[Amiga]] and [[Atari ST]] personal computers, courtesy of developer [[Motivetime]] and publisher [[Elite Systems]], and with Palmer's celebrity endorsement notably removed.
  
−
The game was ported to the Amiga and Atari ST by [[Elite Systems]] as '''''Tournament Golf'''''.
+
A special version of the game designed for use with the [[Sega Mega Play]] arcade system was also produced.

''Arnold Palmer Tournament Golf'' contains a number of references to ''[[Fantasy Zone]]'' (namely the "sound select" screen, which has an Opa-Opa cameo), however it also contains an obscure ''Fantasy Zone'' minigame.
+
The game is a golf game using a pseudo-3D perspective where the goal is to complete each hole in the fewest strokes. It features two play modes, tournament and practice.
  
−
To access it, the player needs to hit the ball 100 times on the first stage without getting to the green. Doing so will trigger a game over screen. On that screen, the player needs to input {{Up}}{{Up}}{{Down}}{{Down}}{{Left}}{{Right}}{{Left}}{{Right}}{{B}}{{A}} (the [[Konami]] Code) and he/she will be taken to a watered down version of the first ''Fantasy Zone'' stage, Plaleaf.
+
Tournament mode consists of 12 rounds, each with 18 holes of golf. There are three different golf courses, one each in the United States, Japan, and Great Britain (although the background and the scenery does not vary). There are 15 computer-controlled opponents, who play their games separately. Most rounds are played as stroke play (where every contestant competes to have the lowest total score for all holes), but the seventh and eleventh rounds are played as match games (where two contestants compete to have the lowest score on each hole, with the winner being the contestant who wins the most holes). Finishing a round in the top eight increases the player's skill level (up to level 12), allowing the player to hit the ball farther and with greater control. Finishing a round in first place upgrades the player's golf club set from the initial black carbon club set to glass fiber and eventually ceramic clubs. This also increases the distance that the player is able to hit the ball. The game provides a password after each round of the tournament for continuing.
  
−
The aim is not to destroy bases (it's an option, though destroying both bases will end the game), but instead simply stay alive. There is no scrolling, though if Opa-Opa travels to the edge of the screen, he will appear at the other edge. Getting killed will end the game. {{B}} shoots forward, {{C}} drops bombs, and the score increases as time goes on. Opa-Opa's shots can counter enemy projectiles in this minigame, and every enemy requires several shots to be destroyed.
+
In practice mode, one or two players can play a complete 18 rounds of golf on one of the three courses. Players can set a skill level and use any of the three golf club sets available in the game. In two-player games, players take turns and compete to complete the course in the fewest strokes; in a single-player game, the player competes against par. There is also a two-player match play mode where players compete hole for hole (with the player who wins the most holes winning the round). Finally, one player can play a non-competitive practice game on any individual hole from the three available courses. These games have additional options for setting the wind direction and strength.
  
−
''Naomichi Ozaki no Super Masters'' does not have this minigame; instead, the Game Over screen shows a still image drawn by one of the staff members and hangs.
+
Before every match, the player selects 14 clubs (with the putter always being mandatory). Before each turn, the player's caddie gives advice based on her skill level. At first, the caddie can only give the distance from the ball's current position to the tee. As the game progresses, more skilled caddies can give distances to various landmarks and information about how the ball is lying. Before swinging, the game also shows a weather vane indicating the direction and intensity of the wind and a close-up picture of the ball's position. The player then selects which club to use during the shot (the caddie makes a default recommendation). After this, the player can adjust the golfer's stance with {{left}} and {{right}} in order to shank the ball in one particular direction based on the direction of the wind (all golfers in the game are right-handed).
  
−
==Physical Scans==
+
To control the swing, the player uses a power gauge to select the strength and height of the shot with {{A}}. When the player first presses the shot button, a marker moves upwards to the top of the gauge. This range controls the strength of the shot. If the player presses the shot button again before it reaches the top, the marker moves back down towards the starting position. The player then must hit the button a third time inside of a green area on the power gauge. This range controls the height of the shot in the air. Hitting outside of the green range results in a missed shot. If the player fails to hit the shot button before it reaches the top or bottom of the gauge, the sequence starts over from the beginning.

 +
When the ball reaches the putting green, the perspective changes to an overhead view of the green. The game first shows the distance from the ball to the tee and then a simple diagram of the lie on the green. The player can select the direction of the putt with {{left}} and {{right}}. Putting uses a similar power gauge but with only the blue range to determine how hard to hit the ball.

[[File:ArnoldPalmer.png|thumb|200px|Arnold Palmer]]
 +
[[Sega of America]] sought to continue [[Tonka]]'s use of celebrity sports game endorsements from the [[Sega Master System]] era by launching their new 16-bit hardware with a number of recognizable celebrities endorsing its library (such as [[Joe Montana]]'s endorsement of ''[[Joe Montana Football]]''.) Their efforts were largely successful, and the system's strong showing of early sports titles is considered one of the more significant reasons for its success.
 +
 
 +
One of these notable celebrity endorsements was from the renowned professional golfer Arnold Palmer. Having won a number of [[wikipedia:PGA Tour|PGA Tour]] championships, and having long been associated with the iced tea-lemonade beverage the [[wikipedia:Arnold Palmer (drink)|Arnold Palmer]], the athlete was considered the biggest name in professional golf, and despite his age would have still been a [[wikipedia:Brand awareness|household name]] in American families.
 +
 
 +
Despite its Western name, the late Arnold Palmer does not appear in the game, save for a cameo on the title screen. While the Western box art suggests the player is competing in the "Arnold Palmer Tournament," there is no reference to this in-game nor in the manual. The Japanese version devotes a section of its manual to Ozaki Naomichi, but likewise, the golfer is largely absent from the game.

Ozaki Naomichi no Super Masters (尾崎直道のスーパーマスターズ), known outside of Japan as Arnold Palmer Tournament Golf (or simply Arnold Palmer Golf in manuals), and on home computers as the even more simple Tournament Golf, is a Sega Mega Drive golf game developed by Sega R&D 6 and published by Sega. Sponsored by professional golfer Naomichi Ozaki in Japan, and Arnold Palmer elsewhere, the game was first released in Japan in September 1989, later localized and brought to the United States the next month, and eventually saw a European release in January 1991.

In 1990, the game was ported to Amiga and Atari ST personal computers, courtesy of developer Motivetime and publisher Elite Systems, and with Palmer's celebrity endorsement notably removed.

A special version of the game designed for use with the Sega Mega Play arcade system was also produced.

Club selection

The game is a golf game using a pseudo-3D perspective where the goal is to complete each hole in the fewest strokes. It features two play modes, tournament and practice.

Tournament mode consists of 12 rounds, each with 18 holes of golf. There are three different golf courses, one each in the United States, Japan, and Great Britain (although the background and the scenery does not vary). There are 15 computer-controlled opponents, who play their games separately. Most rounds are played as stroke play (where every contestant competes to have the lowest total score for all holes), but the seventh and eleventh rounds are played as match games (where two contestants compete to have the lowest score on each hole, with the winner being the contestant who wins the most holes). Finishing a round in the top eight increases the player's skill level (up to level 12), allowing the player to hit the ball farther and with greater control. Finishing a round in first place upgrades the player's golf club set from the initial black carbon club set to glass fiber and eventually ceramic clubs. This also increases the distance that the player is able to hit the ball. The game provides a password after each round of the tournament for continuing.

In practice mode, one or two players can play a complete 18 rounds of golf on one of the three courses. Players can set a skill level and use any of the three golf club sets available in the game. In two-player games, players take turns and compete to complete the course in the fewest strokes; in a single-player game, the player competes against par. There is also a two-player match play mode where players compete hole for hole (with the player who wins the most holes winning the round). Finally, one player can play a non-competitive practice game on any individual hole from the three available courses. These games have additional options for setting the wind direction and strength.

Before every match, the player selects 14 clubs (with the putter always being mandatory). Before each turn, the player's caddie gives advice based on her skill level. At first, the caddie can only give the distance from the ball's current position to the tee. As the game progresses, more skilled caddies can give distances to various landmarks and information about how the ball is lying. Before swinging, the game also shows a weather vane indicating the direction and intensity of the wind and a close-up picture of the ball's position. The player then selects which club to use during the shot (the caddie makes a default recommendation). After this, the player can adjust the golfer's stance with Left and Right in order to shank the ball in one particular direction based on the direction of the wind (all golfers in the game are right-handed).

Hitting outside of the green range results in a missed shot. If the player fails to hit the shot button before it reaches the top or bottom of the gauge, the sequence starts over from the beginning.

When the ball reaches the putting green, the perspective changes to an overhead view of the green. The game first shows the distance from the ball to the tee and then a simple diagram of the lie on the green. The player can select the direction of the putt with Left and Right. Putting uses a similar power gauge but with only the blue range to determine how hard to hit the ball.
