• Choose from several golfer archetypes, ranging
from the power hitter to the short-game wizard
• Take on Vijay on either nine or 18 holes.
• Choose from three difficulty levels.
• There is a standard swing meter, which uses
timed button presses to determine a shot's
power and accuracy.
• Aim your shot by rotating your character. The
impact this has on your shot's trajectory will
simultaneously be shown on a map of the hole.
• Putting uses a familiar meter as well, and it
takes place on a wire-frame grid, the purpose is
to impress you with the complexity of golf's
short game.
In every shot situation, the control feels pretty tight,
and there's a distinct difference between clubs. If
you want to chip your way out of a bunker, you'd
better use a sand wedge. This sort of realism is a
must in the simulation category.
This very polished-looking 2D title seamlessly shifts
between camera angles. Your viewpoint will shift at
least twice on every stroke, highlighting different
parts of the shot. In this way, Pro Golf 2005 does a
better job of approximating the presentation of tel-
evised golf than its 3D competitors.
Qudrapop
Qudrapop is a java™ based game that is optimized
for flip closed mode. Qudrapop is a simple yet
addictive game. To make an item disappear, you
need to have at least four items of the same kind in
connection with each other. The more items that
disappear at the same time, the higher the score.
During the game, blocking items may appear, to
make it harder for the items to connect. A blocking
item will go away only if an item next to it disap-
pears.
Browser
P990i features the integrated Opera 8.0 browser.
The Opera browser has been designed to display
practically all Web pages on the Internet. The

landscape presentation as well as change from a
normal view with scroll bars to a full screen view.
