Pretty fun. First game I remember on the Intellivision that had a shadow under the ball.

Screen Shots |
With a good opponent, Tennis is a good bit of fun. The crowd's head-turning tracking of
the on-court action is cute. Graphics are clean and functional, but sound is
minimal.

The crowd is a good touch. Once you learn the basics of serving and judging how to hit the ball, its a good bit of fun—provided your opponent is decent, too. |
