#virtua tennis

Nobody I know plays tennis, but everyone has played videogame tennis. Alongside golf, tennis is one of the most ubiquitous sports in games. The mechanics have been iterated on and refined so many times over that everyone’s got their own expectations of what a tennis game should do. Super Tennis Blast mostly lives up to those expectations, even if it’s presented in a no-frills package.
Love - 60 is a series about tennis videogames.

Among its contemporaries, the Virtua Tennis series is probably the quintessential modern tennis game. Originally developed for arcades, it’s one of the more accessible games in the genre.
