Computer tennis games

[Shinobi]

How about Panzer Dragoon

What does a 32 bit on rail shooter with Dragons have to do with a 8 bit Tennis games? Do Dragon Masters play tennis!!

The only 8 bit tennis game I ever played was Atari 2600 real sports tennis and Martina (however you spell her surname) on the Megadrive

I cant for the life of me remember a celebrity endorsed tennis game on the c64, but played a lot of codemasters pro tennis simulator, prob because it was on cart and didnt have to load rather than it being any good!

The likes of Virtua Tennis on the Dreamcast showed what could be done,.

Just try hitting the ball out.

From the same people who did international soccer on the C64 did international tennis on the C64

Released by Commodore, but not by Andrew Spencer, who wrote Int. Soccer/Basketball. Lemon reckons Andy Finkel did that game (and also ports of Omega Race and Lazarian).

To my mind, 'proper' tennis games have dated terribly. The likes of Virtua Tennis on the Dreamcast showed what could be done, and so On Court Tennis, Passing Shot, Matchpoint and International 3D Tennis are pretty painful these days (although some are better on 16-bit machines). Pro Tennis Tour's probably the best of the games on the C64.

I never said the same person but the same people( commodore backed games company)

That's right, paul, you never said that.

That's a rather negative way of putting it. Most games designers would be ecstatic to come up with something that wasn't really bettered until over a decade later on a machine a hundred times more powerful.

There can be only one: Final Match Tennis, unrivalled to this day, and its 8 bit

The 8 bit CPU of the PCE of course, at the heart of every console lies a computer...

[AmigaJay]

The 8 bit CPU of the PCE of course, at the heart of every console lies a computer...

Powered by a 16-bit GPU plus I don't think the PCE had a usable operating system for computer use!

[DreamcastRIP]

If consoles now class as being computers then I give you,





Both celebrity endorsed and both 8-bit.

By the same token,



For the Lynx which also had an 8-bit CPU with a 16-bit graphics processor.
