5.0 out of 5 stars WOW - It's an Instant Links Collection!, December 8, 2000

I'm not sure what to make of Links LS Classic. It's actually just Links LS 2000 with about a billion add on courses (OK, I think it has 21). As a longtime Links fan, I have most of these courses already and I've recently upgraded to Links 2001, thus not playing LS 2000 so much anymore. I actually got this as a gift for someone else. I have to say, it's an incredible bargain! You can basically have an instant Links collection. What's better, if you ever move up to Links 2001 (or 2002, or...) you can convert the courses to be compatible with that version. In other words, buy this game to have an instant course collection if you already own Links 2001!

The bad news: The multimedia movies have been removed (I guess they were just a "look at once" kind of feature)

The Links 2001 course converter is not out yet (MS Tech support told me to look for it around 02/02/01 on their web site)

The good news: Links 2001 takes a higher-end system. I'd recommend getting LS Classic is you want a great golf game for a mid-power system.

If you are a fan of beautiful golf vistas, I can't imagine getting bored of this game any time soon!

I have been running LINKS LS 98 for about 3 years now and finally decided I was going to upgrade. I went to the store and saw 2001 and after reading the specifications I realized I could not run it on my current system. Just as I was leaving the store, I noticed the LS Classic Edition and I have to say it is the best value I have ever seen in a PC Game.

Along with LS 98 I had compiled a library of about 25 courses. Now, not only do I get an updated version of the game but 8 or 9 new courses that I did not have! (Note: There are a total of 21 courses on the LS CLassic discs included with the game) If you have been hedging on buying a version of Links, or looking to upgrade from an older version buy LS Classic today.....you and your computer will be glad you did!
