A simple yet competitive tennis game
Tennis for the Game Boy, released in 1989, delivers a basic tennis experience with simple mechanics and a straightforward goal: outplay your opponent.
Gameplay and mechanics
Players can choose to compete in singles or doubles matches, with various opponents that increase in difficulty. The controls are simple, allowing players to move their character and hit the ball, but timing and placement are key to winning. The game includes a top-down view of the court, and the action is fast-paced, requiring quick reflexes.
Tennis for all
Though basic in design, Tennis is a great early sports title for the Game Boy, offering multiplayer modes through the link cable, making it a fun option for competitive play with friends.
