On 30 October 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved to Golf (1980 video game). The result of the discussion was not moved. |
The text-labelled cartridge here:- http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=215 was indeed released in 1980 as this article states.
Although, for some years, I've personally owned this other version of cartridge with the graphical label and a 1978 release date:- http://www.gamersace.com/atari-2600-golf-classic-vintage-sports-video-game-p-1139.html (The 1978 date can be seen by clicking on the above cartridge image to see the larger image)
It's also mentioned here:- http://uk.gamespot.com/atari2600/sports/golf/index.html
So I think the eariest version of GOLF was released in 1978. I'm no Atari 2600 expert, but it might be worth updating the article to mention the 1978 release too.

The result of the move request was: not moved. There is no consensus to move to the (1980 video game) disambiguator. An alternative disambiguator, ([platform] video game) was proposed, however did not have much support in the discussion.

Golf (Atari 2600) → Golf (1980 video game) – As the game is the only one of that title released in 1980, identifying the platform is unnecessary.

I've updated this article basically giving it a full full re-write. I was going to move it, but then saw the discussion above. I don't feel like anyone other than Wikipedians will care about the disambiguation, so despite my edit comment about moving it, I'll leave it for now. Feel free to ask me or confirm any information regarding the changes. Andrzejbanas ( talk) 00:12, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
