PGA Tour 98
''PGA Tour 98'' is a sports video game developed by NuFX and published by EA Sports exclusively for PlayStation in 1997. It was the last game in the series to not feature an athlete's name in the title until ''EA Sports PGA Tour'' in 2023. Reception The game received average reviews. ''Next Generation'' said that the game "may be one of the best PlayStation golf games by default – it's one of the only PlayStation golf games. But at least it's actually worth playing this year." ''GamePro'' praised the animations, detailed courses, commentary, and challenging gameplay, criticized the pixelation of the graphics in close ups and the distracting background sounds, and, similarly to ''Next Generation'', concluded that despite its flaws ''PGA Tour 98'' was "definitely the best golf game released for any 32-bit system." ''IGN'' criticized the game's slow loading times and dated sprite-based graphics. ''Electronic Gaming Monthly ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' (''EGM'') is a m ...

Multiplayer And Single-player Video Games
A multiplayer video game is a video game in which more than one person can play in the same game environment at the same time, either locally on the same computing system (couch co-op), on different computing systems via a local area network, or via a wide area network, most commonly the Internet (e.g. ''World of Warcraft'', ''Call of Duty'', ''DayZ''). Multiplayer games usually require players to share a single game system or use networking technology to play together over a greater distance; players may compete against one or more human contestants, work cooperatively with a human partner to achieve a common goal, or supervise other players' activity. Due to multiplayer games allowing players to interact with other individuals, they provide an element of social communication absent from single-player games. The history of multiplayer video games extends over several decades, tracing back to the emergence of electronic gaming in the mid-20th century. One of the earliest inst ...
