No, I only meant it didn't show up on that search.

I think I can assure you with *complete* *confidence* that none of the
other items you find will bear much resemblance to the game I described.
:-)
I'd show it to you, but unfortunately all known copies of Golf War were
destroyed at a Gencon long ago by Steve Jackson in a berserk rage. I
think he was upset that the game included an unauthorized appearance of
the Hail Mary division of Ninja Nuns from one of his less, ah, well-known
games.
It *is* possible there is a surviving copy of the same author's game
"Unchained D-cup Vampire Leather Vixens From Below Hell," mentioned in the
review, but I surely hope not. :-) Sadly, there was no Laurence review of
the game, so we'll all be left forever wondering how accurate a historical
simulation it might have been.
Ironically, inspiration of one of the supposed characters in the game is
currently the Governor of California. I wonder if they'll re-issue a
special "Guvernator Edition"?
