Realsports Tennis 

 

I am very thankful I had the money to buy the Atari Collection 2 cartridge on the Evercade video game systems. Realsports Tennis is one of the games on that compilation cartridge. Realsports Tennis is from the Atari 2600 era. This is a tennis video game that actually looks pretty good on the Atari 2600. In fact Realsports Tennis looks better than I expected it to look. Realsports Tennis also has some fancy music going on as well.

The biggest problem I had with Realsports Tennis is the controls. Realsports Tennis controls as I would expect it to. We can move our player around and we can swing the racquet. The results of things like swinging the racquet confused me. I thought I hit the ball numerous times in Realsports Tennis. Only to see it appear past my character and I lose a point. In fact all I did in Realsports Tennis was lose.

The default difficulty settings in Realsports Tennis are insane. I also had issues understanding which character I was on the screen in Realsports Tennis. I know this is an Atari 2600 video game but there are a few things they could have done to help the player understand this. The only difficulty setting I could find is the speed of P1. I thought that was me, but maybe it was the computer.

Realsports Tennis did lead to some real world frustration. It is one of those games I would have to spent quite a few hours practicing and learning. Which is strange because I understand how to play tennis. It is more of the menu settings on the game play screen. Yes the same screen is used for that. Which I am forgiving of knowing what system this game was coded for.

Two family members can enjoy Realsports Tennis on the Evercade VS video game system as long as ya'll have two controllers. Two humans is most likely a better experience than playing against the computer. Realsports Tennis looks and sounds better than I was expecting. The only issue I had is the difficulty settings confusion. Which is probably more on me than the game.
