PangYa (Korean: 팡야, transl. "Bang!") was a free-to-play MMO casual golf simulation video game, designed by South Korean development company Ntreev Soft for Microsoft Windows. Although the game was a realistic simulator, it had fantasy-themed courses and anime-style characters,[1] and the game made use of microtransactions to customize characters. Released in its home country in 2004 before expanding to Japan and other territories, it was released the following year in North America published by GameFactory, where it was initially titled Albatross18.[1] PangYa servers were discontinued in most territories as of 2017, and the last official server, serving Thailand was shut in 2024. However the game is still playable via unofficial servers. Other PangYa games were also made for the Wii (Super Swing Golf) and PlayStation Portable game consoles, as well as a mobile game on Android and iOS.[2]
