Question on some old NES games

Hello--

Trying to help out one of my fellow coworkers--I was wondering if anyone knew the answers to these questions:

What's the best golf game for the NES? Never owned one, but I knew there were several like Jack Nick. and Greg Norman.

How well does the Powerpad work, and is it fun? My coworker has 5 and 7 year old boys, and he might try and aquire one if it's worth it.

Thanks

The powerpad was quite the gimmick. It was pretty fun with the track & field games.

If they have a current generation console, they could try Dance Dance Revolution or one of its clones. They are basically the same idea as the power pad.

Golf game weren't that great on the NES, but NES Open Tournament is about the best you'll get.. it has a good selection of courses, and you can enter tournaments and such and it saves progress and records. The power pad is stupid, I'd skip it.. there was a hamburger & eggs game for it, Short Order & Eggs-plode!, that I remember as being kind of fun (vague memories). The track games were okay if you didn't uses you hands to propel your man trough the sound barrier.
