Birdie King 3 is an action arcade game released by Taito Corporation in 1984. Players take on the role of a golfer competing across a series of holes, attempting to sink shots while dealing with various obstacles and hazards on each course. The game supports two-player simultaneous play, allowing head-to-head competition. Players control their character's swing and aim using the arcade cabinet's controls, timing shots carefully to account for wind and terrain. Each hole presents different layouts and challenges, requiring players to adjust their approach accordingly. The game builds on its predecessors in the Birdie King series, refining the golf-action formula that Taito introduced in earlier entries.
