About Tournament Tennis

Tournament Tennis is an early tennis game featuring or even creating many conventions that would become standard features in later tennis simulations. Matches can be played at quarter-final, semi-final or final level - winning at one level automatically moves the player to the next one. They can last for 3 or 5 sets, with a player requiring a 2-game lead to win a set, though a tie-break comes in at 6–6 in all but the final set.

ColecoVision prices, all games & how to spot a fake

Imagic's polished tennis game, which Computer Entertainer called nearly identical to its computer version, and a title collectors rank as extremely rare.

D&L Research developed Tournament Tennis, and Imagic published the ColecoVision cartridge in December 1984. Computer Entertainer's review of the computer-format release (issue 3-10) called it nearly identical to the ColecoVision and Adam version, praised its superb animation, and called solo play against the computer at the Pro level a real challenge.

That review compared it with Gamestar's On-Court Tennis, which it thought did a better job of capturing real tennis strategy because of its wealth of strokes, while the Imagic game was a very polished take on the classic video tennis game.

How it was made

Developed by D & L Research and published by Imagic.

What the press said at the time

Computer Entertainer Vol. 3 No. 10

January 1985

Graphics ★★★½ · Play-Action ★★★½

“ColecoVision/Adam owners have wanted more sports games, and this one makes a nice addition to the collection.”
— Computer Entertainer, January 1985

Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — diamonds through early 1987, stars after — comparing each game only with other games for the same system.

How the ColecoVision version differs

Computer Entertainer said the Commodore 64 version is nearly identical to the ColecoVision and Adam cartridge.

Also on other platforms

Commodore 64

Commodore 64. Computer Entertainer called the C64 game a polished version of video tennis that stresses player movement over stroke selection, and thought real tennis players would prefer Gamestar's On-Court Tennis for its strategy.

Worth knowing

From the ColecoVision manual. There are three computer-opponent levels (Novice, Amateur and Pro); at Pro the computer champion mercilessly alternates fast and normal shots with lobs and volleys.
From the ColecoVision manual. Player movement controls shot speed: move toward the net to hit hard, away from the net to lob or hit softly.
From the ColecoVision manual. Scoring follows real tennis rules, with a match best three out of five sets and a tie-breaker when needed.

Before you buy

Plays with the standard controller, no overlay. The collector museum rates Tournament Tennis Extremely Rare, so expect few listings, and the price row shows boxed copies at several times the loose price, so the box and manual carry most of a complete copy's value. Check that the cartridge and label both say ColecoVision.
