About this product

Product Information

In a quasi-application of the Links LS series, Access Software Inc. blends Links gameplay with the macabre themes of zombie-infested and militarily bedeviled golf courses. Two courses, one 18-holes and the other nine, take you to Mojo Bay in the Caribbean and through a time/space rift to World War I France into Dimension X, respectively. Four modes of play (five including regular Stroke Play) are available in Links Extreme. The first, Armadillo Al's Demolition Driving Range, allows you to practice your aim and distance striking abilities by zeroing in on various onscreen targets such as animals, balloons, statutes, cars, cows, people and more with atomic golf balls, located in Splattered Lizard, Nevada. The other three modes introduced in Links Extreme include Extreme Golf, Poison and Deathmatch. In Extreme Golf, you can choose from 17 types of golf balls, each with unique traits and behavior with a customization feature that allows you to set the number of each to be used during the round. In Poison, based loosely on stroke play, you can attack your opponents as well as the hole with up to five different types of ball: Big Bertha (exploding), howitzer, 13-pounder, frag bomb and grenade. In Deathmatch, based on match play, each player has a set number of health points (ranging from 50 to 200) in a game of survival. Various options allow customization of these matches including usage of exploding balls, ball types and establishment of the green as a safe haven. As in normal Links LS play, three swing types are offered: amateur, the classic 2- or 3-swing meter and Power Stroke. Popup menus are similar to the original Links LS and the game provides eight real-life golfer animations from which to choose. Multi-player action is supported via LAN, modem or on the Internet with Real-Time Voice Chat (not available on Windows NT 4.0) and chat messaging.
