The only machines I had at the time were a green-screen 8086 (a Televideo all-in-one, monitor built into the case, faaancy) and my C64, and I remember seeing ads for Links 386 and thinking gently caress that looks cool Even thinking about it now makes me all nostalgic  Look at those fuckin' graphics

I believe Microsoft Golf 1 and 2 are basically windows ports of Links 386, so I can only agree.

So not quite a port, but also still closely related. I'll take that.  And huh, small world. I'm afraid I can't honestly say I remember what the icon looked like - it has been a little while.

The grid showing how the green breaks...so futuristic!

Think I played it on a 286 or 386 PC last century.

When the NES came out my dad was unimpressed, saying they were still just "Coleco graphics." We have used that phrase to describe every game up through GTAV

There are lots of competent laptops like this... My partner has an Acer Swift 5 14" laptop which is honestly so light it feels like they've forgotten to put the PC in the laptop case. It's like 960g and has a touchscreen and 2 M2 slots in it  (Admittedly 14" instead of 13" in this case, but it's insane)

Even my $250 brand new 2014 rear end Acer Chromebook C720P has a proper M.2 SSD.
