Funny how now Sony's position is the bloated censoring platform and Nintendo and Microsoft are the underdog team-up (Cuphead, Ori, even Banjo shows up in his original n64 game on Switch and adult/suggestive games are somehow less censored on Switch than on Playstation)

My brother had Outlaw Golf (regular version). Summer of 2002, I couldn’t sleep before a surgery. Played it all night instead. If you look past the silliness - it’s a really solid golf game for the period. Thanks for letting me see it again. Now I don’t have to try to find and play it again… and be disappointed.

The Atari 2600's best selling game (Pac-Man) Was Released in 1982; 21 years prior to 2003. 21 years prior to now would be the year 2000, the year the PS2 was released. The PS2 is as old as the Atari aesthetic is to them as the PS2 is to us. The SNES and PS1 would be closer to PONG in relation to the present, time-wise. Of course time never takes aesthetic or diminishing returns in graphical fidelity into account but it's still a trip.

Love these videos where you revisit the games from 2000s. I was in my mid 20s back then, and seeing these videos - especially where you add the vintge TV footage really brings back memories

The title of this game would work for leisure suit Larry too

Haha. Lee Carvello's Putting Challenge. The store clerk said it's what every kid wants.

It would be awesome if LGR reviewed Trailer Park Tycoon. It's not Christmassy, but it is a pretty wacky 2000s game, like this.

Tiger Woods made his first big splash in golf right around 2000, leading to a surge of young, would-be golf prodigies taking up a set of clubs to see if they could be next. This was more Hypnotix smooshing two trends together than a wholly original idea.

Hadn’t seen this one before, another one to hunt for in the wild!

Absolutely loving this return to form with the classic LGR game reviews.

My dad and his wife used to play outlaw golf all the time whenever I wasnt at their house but I was never aloud to play as a child lol

great LGR episode!!

Can't say I was expecting you to review Outlaw Golf of all things. It's not just that it's a sports game, it's also a console title; just about every game you've covered was on the PC. I played the second Outlaw Golf on my grandfather's modded Xbox back in 2005 (or was it 2006? I can't remember). It was no Tiger Woods PGA Tour, but it was a fun enough title.

My roommate taped two pieces of cardboard on either side of the analogue stick to make each shot straight.. made the game super easy

Another one? What an awesome christmas gift!!!!

Aw man, I almost don't even need the entire video, just the throwback intro to get into christmassy LGR mood! :) Getting nostalgic about a show about nostalgia...

Thank for good holiday times video

I own outlaw golf 1 and 2 for original Xbox but never knew it was Steve Carell that was doing some of the voiceover. Now that I know that I actually want to play these games!

this is so painfully 2000's, even the font on the back of the box.

Hell yeah for the classic intro!

what a great wrap up of the 2000's in the first minute
