TENNIS! For the NES. That is good Tennis!


It's been a long time. Video games have come a long way. You're a better player than you were twenty years ago. Ancient Age games seem disappointingly simple these days. So. You plunk in a dusty sports title, expecting only a slight upgrade from some Pong formula. Surely, this game, TENNIS, will be barely discernible from the myriad generic sports games from a generation before. Blip. Bloop. Atari gameplay, NES graphics. Instead, this NES launch title is amazingly deep, funnily accurate and surprisingly engaging. Not to mention challenging. Get a bro and play some doubles against the merciless computer bros. Have 12 cans of Coors while you do so. That is good Tennis.
