Miniverse Minigolf

Also, the game has some wine/proton compatibility issues. Managed to get it started with Proton Hotfix, but the UI is a mess. I understand that you may not be able/willing to fix it on your end, just leaving it if you can and want to make it playable on Linux via Proton.

//edit: In regards to how exactly it’s messed up. If I try to run the game via wine (11.7), the main menu looks fine, but once the game starts the screen is completely black (game’s not frozen as when I try to “play” blindly I can hear ball bounce around after putting it). On the other hand, if I try to run it via Proton Hotfix, the main menu is messed up graphically (though buttons are visible even if messed up, but on anything other than Proton Hotfix and plain wine the main menu is either completely black or has a black rectangle on top of it), but in game it’s fine.

Is there a way to extract full course images as normal image files? The art in the game is absolutely stunning and I would like to set some of the courses as wallpapers (and no, the screenshots on this page are not sufficient).

Came here due to the recent DOS Storm video.

You might want to update your link to Paint It Back, as it is dead; it seems the Steam version is preferred now. (Always nice to see what else the Popcap devs got up to.)

Today's the first time I've seen this game, so I don't have any nostalgia for it like the rest of the commenters here. I saw the box art while searching for something unrelated, dug a little because it looked cool, and found this! It's incredibly cool that you'd upload this, and I love to see that you're still in game dev today. Blew through the game and had a blast! I especially love the graphics. Cheers!

这款游戏找了近20年 中国只能找到demo版 没想到作者能无偿发布出来 并修复WIN11完美运行 忠心感谢作者

Hey! VirusTotal.com detected a Trojan from the .exe file, are you aware of this?

Thanks!

I remember being really young like maybe 6 years old (I'm in my mid to late 20s now), me and my grandfather would play this for hours on his PC! Thank you so much for having this available to play in the modern day!

The Citizen Kane of Minigolf games :D
Thanks for the childhood memories. The art is absolutely beautiful and still holds up today

Can it run on win11?

Thank you so much for re-releasing this game, it is such a treat seeing developers remember their old games and giving them such a lovely treatment, and you have knocked it out of the ball park! The game runs wonderfully on windows 10, just how I remember it with everything intact. Gotta say, nothing beats those charming, late 90s/early 00s era of cgi backgrounds, they are an absolute delight to look at.

Amazing! I used to play the demo of this all the time on the eGames demo CD I got from Burger King and even that seemed like a ton of content! Glad I can finally see what the rest of the game has.

Seeing this, downloading it, and playing it again gives me such warm feelings inside. I grew up with the eGames Minigolf version of this only 18 holes, so playing this full version is mindblowing to me! I had no idea there was more to it.

Thanks a trillion for reuploading this, hope you're doing well these days.

OMFG THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD... i remember i got a CD from burgerking with a bunch of games but i played this one the most i was like 10-12 somewhere around that... its been so much years since i played yet i still remember the sounds of this game.

Oh my juggling cactus! 

I remember this game as a kid. I was like 5? Wow, memories, I loved this small golfing game, even though I never figured out the concept until like, 12. I would go to my grandmas house, which was next door but still a every once in awhile thing, and play it on top of a bunch of others.
Nice to know it still exists, thanks for putting this up and bringing some good childhood memories back. 

I'd be curious if you could gather copies of Bowling Mania and Let's Go Fishing as well...I had them years ago, in a case with a download of Miniverse Minigolf as well on a "Greatest Hits" CD.

Hey is there a longer version of the theme song?

Wow! This is great. Lots of good nostalgic vibes here and it ran perfectly for me.

@NinjasSciborg I didn't see a way to get to 1080p, perhaps the youtuber upsacled the video?

Hello. Do you know of a way of playing it in higher resolutions? I remember seeing footage on Youtube of someone playing it at 1080p. Also, thanks a million for bringing this back. I was disappointed when I couldn't get my old copy to work on Windows 7 or 10. My siblings and I grew up playing this and loved it. 

So glad to find this game again after so many years! As silly as it sounds, as a kid I used to boot this game up just to appreciate its environments and sound design. It may not be a big deal these days, but back then ambient sounds were pretty rare (for the games I played anyway) and really made this game stand out in memory. The sci-fi atmosphere also added to the experience, and I'm sure this game at least partially shaped my interests today. So once again, thanks for uploading this, it actually means a lot!

I asked if this was a full version of the original miniverse game.  You replied that it was.  It is not.  There is only 4 holes for each type of playing field. I expect it is no use to ask for my money back.

Question:  Is this the full, complete miniverse  golf game?!  At 99MB I would expect another partial game.

Windows 7, after starting turned screen black and it stayed that way until I restarted computer. Ctrl+Alt+Del didn't help. It's probably something to do with resolution.
