Brian posted the above in another topic in another section but I wanted to put this in the JNSE forum in case any guests are looking specifically at the JNSE forum. There ARE a few of us still playing JNSE (or in my case playing it again after a long absence).BrianZ111 wrote: ↑January 9th, 2021, 4:37 pm This site actually will become the future home of the Jack Nicklaus Signature Edition (JNSE) courses, files, etc. JNSE is the 1992 version of the JN series. I talked with Fred Hanser a little over 3 weeks ago, who still runs a tour for the game called Play with the Pros at http://pwp-tour.000webhostapp.com/ and since there is no other host for all of the content for this game currency, I offered to host it and he is going to upload it. The only hold up is me having time to get the webpages together and up. This was a DOS game so you have to run it in DOSBox on today's OS's. I haven't actually run the game myself since I retired my XP machine 11 years ago and that was 32-bit so I don't know if DOSBox works with 64-bit machines. JNSE is the only JN game I ever played. I made the jump over to FPS: Golf's after that and the mouse swing had me hooked. That later became the PGA series.
There are several sites on the Internet that have copies of JNSE for free if you do a search on the full name of Jack Nicklaus Golf & Course Design: Signature Edition. I still have my CD version from 20+ years ago I downloaded on to my laptop. You will need DOSBox to run the program which can be found here - https://www.dosbox.com/. It runs great in Windows 10.
Right now there are just a few of us doing the Play with the Pros (PwP) tour. It would be great to have a few more people.
We play the PGA Tour course for that week (or a reasonable facsimile course if no one has created the course being played in the current week) with varying conditions for each round (not too tough as we're primarily playing for fun). Fred usually posts the information on Saturday (3rd day of the real tournament) and we have from that time until the following Saturday (I've turned in my scores as late as the following Sunday - with a heads up I am behind) to play the four rounds. I am immensely enjoying playing the game with other players (after 4 months of consistent playing) I am usually slightly above or below par each round).
Fred recently indicated he is close to finishing organizing the files and catalog of courses for Brian to upload to this site. I am looking forward to all of the courses that will be available to play.
