The Irem Skins Game is a classic sports simulation developed by Tamtex. Bringing the popular professional golf tournament format—where holes have a monetary or point value and are won outright by the lowest scorer on that specific hole—to the Super Nintendo, the game offers realistic ball physics, wind calculations, club selection mechanics, and multi-player tournament support.
GAME ID: SNS-MT-USA
BARCODE: 715664391028
Released in October 1992 in North America.
Emulating the Skins Format:
Unlike traditional stroke-play golf video games that tally cumulative scores over 18 holes, the skins format introduced high-stakes tactical play where ties carry over ("halve" or "carry-over" skins), creating dramatic swings in match momentum.
Irem's Console Portfolio:
While globally renowned for arcade heavy-hitters like R-Type and Metal Storm, Irem's North American division actively localized and published sports and strategy titles tailored to the western 16-bit market.
