About IMG International Tour Tennis
Licensed by the International Management Group (IMG), this rare Electronic Arts venture into Tennis features 32 professional players (all male and licensed by the IMG) including Bjorn Borg, Marcelo Rios, Patrick Rafter and Yevgeni Kafelnikov in 15 tournaments with different surfaces. Game modes include exhibition, tour and tournament for both singles and doubles. Along the usual offering of lobs, volleys, passing shots, top spins and slashes, the player can leave player movement to the console, and just focus on hitting the ball with the right shot with the correct timing (the player can also set the playing style, from all-court, baseline, or rush net). For those needing a boost of confidence before entering competitive play, Vic Braden, one of the most well known tennis coaches, has a court with special lines, a ball machine and some hints to help them improve their play.

A realistic but awkward-to-control tennis game, cheap in the US and dear in Europe.
IMG International Tour Tennis is a tennis simulation developed by High Score Productions and published by EA Sports. It reached Europe on 23 September 1994 and North America in October 1994.
Electronic Games described a roster of 32 well-known pros and two control styles, with the automatic setting moving the player into position while you choose the stroke. Game Players praised the realistic animations and the large cast of tennis pros but thought poor control held the game back, and noted it can be played with a four-way adapter.
What the press said at the time
“There is a decent game here trying to escape, but it can't as this product is deeply flawed in places. … With a little more work this could have been excellent but I'd rather play Pete Sampras' Tennis.”
Before you buy
Among US carts this is one of the cheaper ones. The European cart usually costs more than twice as much as the US one, loose or complete. The cartridge keeps some data in a battery inside it, so check that saves hold; a replaced battery is a normal repair, not a sign of a fake. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
