The quest mode in World Court Tennis was a neat idea. Davis Cup Tennis looks really good. Funny commentary.

So, here is another Atari system Tennis game.  This time it is Jimmy Connors Tennis for the Atari Lynx.

The one and only, albeit impressive, Tennis game for the Philips CD-i

After watching that video, I can see why this was their one and only Tennis game for the system!  Wow!

Yeah it's a really impressive game for a 1991 console.

Here are some Tennis games for the Sega Saturn

I think I like Virtual Open Tennis the most of the three, at least from the videos.

Mario Tennis on Virtual Boy.

C+VG Red Dot rating of 81%.

Blimey with this and the last boxing post by moi, never thought i'd be mentoining Nintendo formats, let alone the VB.

Still forum could do with a tad more obscure Nintendo format coverage.
