About this game

Chris Evert & Ivan Lendl in Top Players' Tennis presents serving, baseline rallies, and net play from an overhead court, with singles and doubles options. Direction and positioning determine whether an opponent can be moved out of place. Core tennis rules are complete, movement and return timing are understandable, and local matches make good use of the simple systems. Player differentiation, placement control, and tactical feedback remain limited, so long rallies can become repetitive. It suits brief NES competition rather than players seeking detailed spin or a career mode. This description covers the original fc release represented by this catalog entry and does not assume conveniences introduced by later ports.
