Links LS 1999 is a 1998 simulation game developed and published by Access Software.
Access brings Links LS 1999, the venerable golf simulation's four-CD package, to Windows 95/98. According to the designers, the game includes more than two dozen new features and an update version for fans of the 1998 edition is also available.
In addition to supporting more than 25 previously released Links expansion courses, the major new features include a new Mode of Play (MOP) designer (with 30 new MOPs on-disk), four real world-class courses, and two new swing options. Other enhancements include a new tournament environment, new 3D objects, an Internet "spectators" feature and real-time voice chat facilities, two new golfers from which to choose, improved computer-controlled player AI, an expanded sound script editor, and improved sand play with "explosion" and "pick" options.
The four CDs give an idea of what is provided in Links LS 1999. The first CD contains installation and setup, plus 17 converted SVGA courses in LS format (assuming the player has the original courses). The second CD has eight golfer animations and the four courses shipped with the game: St. Andrews Links Old Course, Entrada at Snow Canyon, and two versions of Bay Hill Club & Lodge and Latrobe Country Club -- fall and summer. The third CD has the multimedia tours of both Latrobe Country Club and Bay Hill Club & Lodge and a virtual reality tour of Arnold Palmer's workshop. The last CD contains two more multimedia tours (Entrada and St. Andrews).
Gameplay features a new PowerStroke mouse swing and a three-click swing in addition to the original Links two-click method.
Links LS 1999 is abandonware and no longer sold or supported by its publishers. Files are archived here for these platforms:
