An early, basic Sega tennis game that is worth having mainly as a card or cart curio.
Super Tennis was developed and published by Sega. It reached Japan on December 22, 1985 as Great Tennis, North America in December 1986 and Europe in August 1987. It was released on a Sega Card, and in Europe additionally as a cartridge.
Mean Machines Sega called it a basic oldie, with no graphical frills or fancy gameplay touches, reasonably playable but no match for the more recent Wimbledon Tennis.
What the press said at the time
| Mean Machines Sega Issue 3 | December 1992 | OVERALL 69% |
“This being quite an oldie, the action is a tad basic, with no graphical frills or fancy gameplay touches to liven things up. Though it's reasonably playable, it's certainly no match for the more recent Wimbledon Tennis.”

Before you buy
The US version is on a Sega Card, which plugs into the card slot of the original Master System or the Mark III. The Master System II has no card slot, so check which console you own. European copies cost much less than the US one, and Europe also had a cartridge edition. The Japanese Great Tennis costs a little more than the US card loose and noticeably more complete, and it is a different, smaller shape that does not fit a Western console without an adapter. Loose, this is an ordinary price, and the look-alike risk is low. Make sure the manual is included on a complete copy.
