Product Information
Put down that racket and pick up a joystick! It's time to play RealSports Tennis, one of six games in the RealSports series from Atari.<br><br>Before the match begins, each player has the ability to enter their name into the scoreboard -- up to eight letters each is allowed. Then the action begins as you serve the ball over the net, trying to get it past your opponent.<br><br>The scoring rules of real tennis apply -- a match is won by winning two sets; a set is won by winning six games; and a game is won by winning four points (a player must have a two-point lead).<br><br>The position of the difficulty switches determines whether or not you must press the fire button in order to hit the ball. In the 'B' position, you automatically hit the ball when it hits your racket; in the 'A' position, you must time your swing by pressing the fire button at the proper moment.<br><br>The game features three types of shots -- normal, which occurs when you are standing still or moving side to side; lob, which occurs when you are running away from net; and smash, which occurs when you are running toward the net. If you hit the ball with the tip of your racket, it will travel at an angle.<br><br>RealSports Tennis contains fast and slow game variations for one or two players.Product Identifiers
