At first glance, you may wonder why another Genesis tennis game is joining an already crowded market. They all feature similar graphics, options, and game play. However, Wimbledon Championship Tennis stands head and shoulders above the Genesis center court crowd with realistic graphics, an abundance of options, smooth game play, and exciting new four-player simulareous game play using Sega's Team Player Multi- Player Adapter. Wimbledon Championship Tennis serves up a whole new ball game!

ProTip: The most effective lob is one that sends the ball behind your opponent.

Wonders of Wimbledon

Like its namesake, Wimbledon Championship Tennis is a first- class operation from first serve to match point. Sharp graphics, which feature realistically proportioned and animated players, immediately show off the quality of the game. Too many tennis games have been hindered by cartoony, unrealistic character sprites. In Wimbledon, detailed backgrounds and different court surfaces are effectively conveyed. Additional graphic highlights, such as linesmen, ball boys and girls, and hilarious animation whenever a player is beaned by the ball, add to the graphic excellence.

Since real tennis discourages unnecessary sounds from distracting the players, this game is understandably light on its audio capabilities. However, the sound bites that do exist are strong and distinctive. With the digitized sound of balls bouncing off different surfaces, players' grunts and groans, the court judge's scoring, and audience applause and reactions, Wimbledon Championship Tennis sounds like the real thing.

The programmers made every effort to replicate the tennis experience within the confines of the Sega control pad. Players (and their shadows) move fluidly across the surface, responding easily to the controls. All major strokes are effectively represented, with variations for the strength and direction of the hit. You can select from 24 professional male and female players, each of whom is ranked according to strokes, speed, and footwork. Every player performs faithfully to their stats, so it'll show if your player is lacking in a certain area.

Don't play too close to the net, or your swing will send the ball directly into it.
