Match Point It is a tennis video game published in 1984-1985 for Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and Sinclair QL from Psion and other publishers and, with the title Tournament Tennis , for Colecovision, Commodore 64 and MS-DOS from Imagic. He also left Thomson To7, Thomson M6 and Thomson M5 with the title Super Tennis . Some editions Atari St, Commodore 64 (on cartridge) and DOS used the simple title Tennis .

Single games can be played only on the five sets, between two players or against the computer, or even the show of the computer against itself. In all cases you can select three levels of general difficulty, which influence the speed of the ball, while that of tennis players remains the same.

The field, in green, is shown with a fixed three -dimensional view, oriented with a tennis player in the lower part and one in the upper part of the screen. However, the size of tennis players does not change with the distance. The ball has a perpendicular shadow that helps to recognize its height from the ground. There are animated collections that recover the ball when it ends up at the net, and the scoreboard scoreboard in the background.

You can orient the tennis player to hit the right or reverse, showing the character with the racket on the right or left. A single button or button is used to hit, but the trajectory and the speed of the blows are controllable through various factors: a tennis position compared to the ball, tennis’s speed at the time of the blow, timing of the blow.
