oesii Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Just ran into this game for the first time today on the Genesis: http://www.vgmuseum.com/pics4/david.html I know it was released on the SNES and most people think that game was a clunker. But the Genny version looks and plays nice for me. In some ways the perspective and action are early forerunners of Sega's Virtua Tennis. Anyways, I was impressed by the programming considering it was for the 16bit machines, anyone else played this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maibock Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I haven't played it yet, but got the game in a bundle when I was obtaining Genny Sports games - On the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 On the list I knew you would say that I remember reading lots of reviews when Virtua Tennis came out for the Dreamcast on how no good tennis titles had been produced since the two (Activision and Real Sports) for the 2600. I believed the reviews at the time but since then I've found some good tennis games out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to remember a fun tennis game for the Genny, but the title escapes me, I'll see if I can remember it when I get home from work. It might still be in my nomad..

Stingray Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I'm yet to find a tennis game on any system that I really enjoy. Probably because I prefer to hit the court and play the real thing. -S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjk7382 Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 This is one of the few genesis games I play regularly in the emulator. I can hook it up to my tv and play it with a ps2 controller so it is almost like having a real system hooked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbid Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 it was a very attractive game, however the player in the frontcourt has the advantage. playing in the backcourt is difficult with the perspective now for a better forerunner to Virtua Tennis, check out either Wimbledon Tennis or ATP tennis (the sequel to wimbledon). This was published by sega sports, but the cart or credits do not say which team developed it. the gameplay is very similar to virtua tennis, and the graphics were well done for the genny as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I loved the SuperNes version. One of the first games I ever bought for the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
