Access Software has taken the sport they know best--golf--and built a groundbreaking game around it with Links Extreme, a new product set to release this fall. Extreme will allow gamers to throw out the rules of golf etiquette in an exciting new competition that will include everything from high bouncing super balls to a demolition driving range.

"Think of Links Extreme as Indiana Jones meets Happy Gilmore on the golf course," explained Chris Jones, Executive VP at Access. "Links Extreme is designed for the golfer who wants to bend the rules, demolish some clubs, have a lot of fun, but most importantly, win at all costs. If gamers have half as much fun playing it as we’ve had creating it, Extreme will be the hottest game in ‘98."

Links Extreme is based on golf, with a new level of strategy for the lawless competitor. There are opportunities to earn golf balls with unique characteristics, play pranks on an opponent, and use super terrain to gain distance or to reach a strategic landing area.

Links Extreme will appeal to both single users and Internet multi-players with a variety of game options. In addition to the typical 9 and 18-hole rounds of golf and a demolition driving range, Extreme will include several variations on the sport for online head-to-head competition. A golfer’s version of capture the flag, deathmatch and other contests are currently in the works for the first edition of Links Extreme. Extreme will include Mojo Bay Resort and Country Club, a new fantasy course with island fairways and colorful skyscapes set in the heart of the Caribbean.
