Game Introduction

This is a classic arcade-style tennis game that captures the simple, addictive fun of the sport. Players control a tennis player on the court, competing against a computer-controlled opponent in a fast-paced match. The goal is to hit the ball back and forth, scoring points when your opponent fails to return it.

Gameplay Guide

• Objective: Be the first player to win the required number of points or sets to win the match.
• Serving: Start each point by serving the ball over the net into the opponent’s service box.
• Rallying: After the serve, hit the ball back and forth with your opponent. You must return the ball before it bounces twice on your side of the court.
• Scoring: You score a point if your opponent hits the ball out of bounds, into the net, or fails to return it before it bounces twice.

Controls Guide

Controls are designed to be simple and intuitive:

• Movement: Arrow Keys or WASD to move your player around your side of the court.
• Swing / Hit: Spacebar or X key to swing your racket and hit the ball. The timing of your swing can affect the power and direction of the shot.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I score points in tennis?

In a standard game, points are scored as 15, 30, 40, and then game point. You need to win by at least two points. Many arcade versions simplify this to just winning a set number of points (e.g., first to 7).

How can I aim my shots?

In most classic tennis games, your shot direction is determined by when you hit the ball relative to your player’s body. Hitting it early sends it cross-court, while hitting it late sends it down the line.

Can I play against another person?

Many classic tennis games feature a 2-player mode where you can compete against a friend on the same keyboard.
