Top Players' Tennis (NES review)

Developer: Home Data
Publisher: Asmik
Released: 1990

Top Players' Tennis is a sports game featuring former champions Chris Evert and Ivan Lendl.

+ Excellent customisation options, as you can choose to increase your stats in different ways including speed and ball spin.

+ Includes a password feature to continue your Tournament, and supports up to four-players in a Doubles match.

+ Overall presentation is terrific with some neat opening scenes and plenty of impressive sounding voice clips.

- Your character moves around as if they're on ice, making it far too easy to overshoot your intended position on the court.

- Aiming shots is a struggle due to the reliance on player positioning, and balls ricochet over the net with alarming frequency.

- There's some bizarre spatial distance issues, as you can return the ball despite it being located behind you.

- By pressing Select during a match you can gain advice from the pros, yet it's usually generic and of absolutely no use.
