World Court Tennis for TurboGrafx-16


Image: MobyGames

World Court Tennis


Genre: sports - tennis

Publisher: NEC

Year: 1989

System: TurboGrafx-16


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Plays a lot like Super Tennis or Jennifer Capriati Tennis. It's just good ole fashion overhead Japanese tennis. You can direct the ball where you want it to go and hit detection is good but not great. I missed a lot of hits that I didn't think I ought to. The only real problem is that you only have two buttons. I is the regular hit and II is the useless lob.


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

The best thing about this game is a light RPG mode similar to the one in Final Lap Twin. This predates Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, and Golf Story by many years but it's the same general idea. Here you play random encounters which are single game matches to win money. It's extremely simple but hilarious.


Theme Score: 4

Theme Notes:

Again, so cute


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

The game is way too bright. It's colorful. Too colorful.


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

Pleasant all around


Overall Score: 68
