classic tennis games
Lastly, in this section we wanted to recall old times with some of the most classic titles of this type of game. These were the true forerunners of the titles we play today.
Atari PONG (1972)

One of the most mythical titles in the entire history of tennis is the PONG that arrived with the Atari console in 1972. The gameplay was based on this two-dimensional screen with a striped line that defined the middle of the playing field. Then, those in charge of passing the small square ball as a pixel were two small bars that moved perpendicular to the center of the field. If the ball went behind any of these bars, a point went up on the opponent's scoreboard.
Despite its simplicity, this title was an absolute success, especially when it made the leap from the Atari to arcades, allowing many more users to play.
Match Point
Although the previous title was clearly a video game dedicated to this sport, what is considered the first tennis game is the Match Point. A title that came in 1984 for the ZX Spectrum.
It was the first that printed a wave of realism to the gameplay, with a track through which our character and his opponent moved. Although we could only hit the ball with a single button, depending on when we did it, our character's hit was different. And without forgetting that there were 3 difficulty levels that we could configure when playing against the machine.
Virtua Tennis
Finally, we want to recall one of the best known and most played titles in history by tennis lovers. It is, of course, the Virtua Tennis, which was developed for PC play in 2002.
Its graphics were the most realistic seen to date and, in addition, they embodied professional tennis players of the moment with whom we could later play. It had a World Tour mode with which we had to progress with our character throughout his career, an exhibition mode or even an online multiplayer mode. Each and every character had different abilities and the character's ball or slide was different on each track type.
If you want to play these titles again you will have to do it through emulators and Roms. If you have no idea what it is or how to use them, you should take a look at our video tutorials. In them we explain how to install them on various devices such as your Smart TV or your own Android mobile:
