Game: Vertiginous Golf

"Vertiginous Golf." It doesn't exactly roll of the tongue, does it? Yet it's somehow a perfectly appropriate title for what has to be one of the most unusual mini-golf games to come along in, well, just about ever: A heavily-ornamented steampunk mini-putt that plays out in the sky, high above the thick, black rain clouds that have permanently encased the drab alt-history city below.How? Through the power of the Vertiginousphere, an alternate-universe technology that has freed mankind from the yoke of gravity - but not without a cost. It's an idea that actually took root more than a decade ago as Vertigolf, a more conventional (although the term hardly seems appropriate) anti-gravity golf game made by coder Paul Barnes and artist Christian Holland."We always loved the original game but felt the graphics at the time didn't do it justice," Barnes said. "So we thought now was a good time to create the spiritual successor, Vertiginous Golf."
