Wimbledon (Sega Master System review)

Developer: SIMS
Publisher: Sega
Released: 1992

Wimbledon is a sports title that was also released on the Sega Game Gear in 1992.

+ Has a neat password feature to continue tournaments, and you can even play doubles matches alongside the CPU.

+ Instead of palette swaps, CPU opponents have distinct characteristics that force you to adapt to baseline / net shots.

+ Includes excellent artwork between games, and the players have humorous animations based on how well they perform.

- Starts you with pitiful stats, and the first two tournaments are rough without the means to adequately angle cross-court shots.

- Blistering gameplay speed gives barely any time to react to incoming shots, and your sprite often moves out of camera view.

- A.I. is inconsistent, as one minute they'll return everything under the sun before forgetting to swing at a passing ball.

- Service faults are common, there's no real world players, and dreadful music plays incessantly throughout matches.
