Tennis, or テニス, was originally released in 1984 and was ported to the Game Boy in 1989, which is what I'm going to talk about here.

It's a normal tennis game, without a lot of gimmicks or different modes, just the usual one-on-one game.

And like practically all sports games at the time, it's very basic and very... bad...

In the game you can walk and hit the ball, one button launches it faster and lower and the other launches it higher and slower, and that's all the strategy involved in the game, plus a lot of luck, plus the computer that sometimes simply becomes the best Tennis player in the world.

There's not much else to say about this game, the only notable thing about it is that Mario is the referee in it, which I thought was pretty funny when I saw it.

And my rating for the game is: 1 star.
