This must be one of the most impressive tennis simulations available for any micro. II has absolutely nothing to do with traditional breakout games but is a proper simulation in 3D.

The court is displayed giving you a view rather like the one you get on telly from Wimbledon except the court is, for some strange reason, bright orange and yellow!

The simplest way to play is to move your man, who is. incidentally, incredibly well animated, to the ball and the man will automatically hit the ball back. But if you're feeling adventurous, you can try lobs or ground strokes. You can play another person or the computer, but be warned, the computer is amazingly good at this game. He never seems to miss a shot and his service is second to none!

Overall, this has some of the most impressive graphics 1 have ever seen, sound is very reaJistic and animation is simply suberb. Meticulous attention to detail right down to the shadow on th~ ball makes this one of the best, if not the best. tennis game on the market, just as addictive as any shoot-'em-up game.
