Naxat Open is a golf sim developed by contract developers TOSE in 1989 and published by Naxat Soft, which lent their name to the game. Released the same week as Power Golf, Naxat Open aimed for the more serious simulation crowd whereas Power Golf appealed more to those looking for a more casual golfing video game experience.
Besides a harsher level of challenge (the acceptable window of error is greatly diminished) Naxat Open plays much like other golf sims for console games: the gameplay chiefly focuses on hitting a power gauge just right to maximize the effect of each swing.
