Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf Available Now on Steam, Soon For Consoles

[scagwi]

The fragments that are left of PP have assured the remaining players that the existing PG1 software and online play will continue to function in perpetuity as long as Steam supports it -- so that's good at least I guess..

Mac players already got the boot as something changed on Apple's end with their latest macOS Catalina and there's no staff or budget to do anything to make PG1 keep working for Mac users, which sucks for people who'd been playing it there. Those people are SOL on their purchased game and have to move on.

Ultimately, it's just a bit painful to know there's "the next gen" of the same game out there and you'll never get to play it.

Sucks.

I can't believe what a crappy situation sim oriented virtual golf is in given where it looked to be trending in 2014/2015.

It's done a complete nose dive and, to our knowledge publicly, there is nothing even being actively developed other than something like World Golf Tour.

And the absurdity of this situation is to think that a picture mosaic, pay to win game like World Golf Tour currently has over one million active subscribers I really do hope that Mike and Andrew are continuing to push for a PC version of Virtual Golf 2.

Somehow I doubt this number, but I do know that's where a lot of old TW arcade gamers are playing.

WGT says they have over 5,200,000 registered owners, of which it is estimated that >1,000,000 are active. Either number blows me away! I guess the face that it's "free" is the reason for this, but with less that 20% remaining active, it shows me that the 'pay to play' aspect of it turns over 80% of those how download it off.

I wonder if we can count the active PG1 users on our hands and toes?

Not quite... there were 22 players in the multiplayer lobby when I went in there Thursday night, of course some of them have probably been logged in since May, 2016!

I'm in there off and on. Not really into league play any longer, especially ladders. I'm typically up for a friendly and I'll play most any conditions, just not in the rain ... I can get that **** in real life . User name is "Gordo". PM me here or look me up there.

I'll look you up there the next time I get on. I rarely play JNPG any more because I prefer the more responsive mo-capped golf animation in TGC 2019 to Hacker Harry of JNPG. It'll be next week before I can play JNPG again, but I'll definitely give you a shout when I do.
