Krazy Ace Miniature Golf is a 1993 miniature golf video game developed and published by Telegames in North America and Europe exclusively for the Atari Lynx. [1]

Krazy Ace was programmed in 1991 but not released until late 1993 by Telegames.[ citation needed ] The game was released in very small quantities and as of a result of this, the game has become very sought-after by collectors and gamers alike. A complete copy today is worth around $450 making it one of the most expensive Atari Lynx titles ever officially released.[ citation needed ]

Robert Jung reviewed the game which was published to IGN. In his final verdict he wrote "Krazy Ace Miniature Golf is a good miniature golf game, but not a great one; the card's major flaw is the lack of variety in the course and the game itself. With merely passable graphics and sound, this is a decent game to divert yourself for a little while, but there's almost nothing here to keep you on this krazy kourse for the long term." Giving a final score of 6 out of 10. [4]
