*************************
Meanie Golf: An 18 hole mini-golf game for your 48k ZX Spectrum home computer (or emulator).
It's feeding time at Monster Castle minigolf course. Feed the monsters beneath by pow-ing the meanies into each hole. Try to make less shots than par.
Choose from the main menu if you would like to play single player or two player (hot seat). There is also a practice mode if you'd like to choose a particular hole and play that without progressing to the others.
Once you've chosen a single or 2 player game, you can then choose whether to play 9 holes of the course or the full 18 holes.
The game is a top-down mini golf game. Use the left and right keys to line up your shot (the moving reticule should help you to see where the ball will go). Press and hold the fire button. The longer you hold down the fire button, the more powerful your shot will be. The POW-ER bar in the bottom right is there to help give you a guide for how hard you are hitting shots.
Play with the Spectrum keyboard or with Kempston or Sinclair compatible joysticks.
Keyboard controls (redefinable from main menu):
- O - Turn Left
- P - Turn Right
- SPACE - Take the shot
- H - Toggle pause
Made by Jeff Murray and Ethan Murray, in 2023 with MPAGD. All the graphics and most scripting was made by Jeff with some awesome extra maths stuff by Ethan Murray.
Thanks to Jonathan Cauldwell and Kees van Oss for MPAGD and thanks to YOU for keeping the Speccy dream alive!
I really hope you enjoy this game!!

Game is fantastic, the entire family is playing this one. Even a close friend came over and sat in front of it for an hour playing it. Addictive, pleasant to look at with excellent graphics, controls are spot on, even has good sound! Love it. Making a video on it for sure. Thanks for the extra 18 holes! That's great value!
OK, Heres the review, also i found a game break bug will tweet you the video clip :)
TinyTim78:That's different
Sloanysoft: Hilariously cruel
HandheldHannahScott: A hole in some
RetroHitch: Bugger!
Brilliant game, highly playable, highly frustrating, highly worth a couple of bucks.
Def a go back and play again game, thank you so much, I loved it, my viewers loved it, hopefully they all now pay for it!
I couldn't have fixed it without you and it was great to be able to see you running the fixed version on your stream afterward, too. Thanks for a great stream and for your amazing support of my stuff. I really appreciate what you do.
The new version is up on here and I've also tweaked the positioning so the ball should never appear in a wall again!
