A French-made tennis game that uses the six-button pad, and a very cheap cart in North America.
Loriciel, a French developer, made Davis Cup World Tour for the Genesis, and Tengen published it in North America in July 1993 and in Europe in October 1993. Japan received it as Davis Cup Tennis on 25 February 1994.
GamePro previewed it as a game offering more control and shots than other Genesis tennis carts, thanks to the six-button controller, though it could also be played with the standard three-button pad. It had two-player play and a password feature. Sega Retro lists the six-button pad as used.

Before you buy
This is one of the cheapest US carts. The European loose cart usually costs about the same as the US one, but a complete European copy usually costs much more. The Japanese cart (Davis Cup Tennis) usually costs several times as much as the US one, loose or complete, and has a different cartridge shape. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
