International 3D Tennis is a 1990 tennis video game developed by Sensible Software and published by Palace Software for the Amiga, Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, and ZX Spectrum.

Gameplay

[edit]

The game has three modes: single match, tournament, and season. Tournament mode lets the player pick from 72 different tournaments. Season mode is a series of tournaments during a single year.[1] The game features polygon graphics and ten camera angles.[2][3] The game offers four difficulty levels where the controls get more complicated and the AI gets better in higher difficulties.[3]

Reception

[edit]

Amiga Format said that Pro Tennis Tour is the better game: "International 3D Tennis is good, but the graphics let it down and, although it plays well, it does not play as well as Ubi Soft’s game."[1] Computer and Video Games concluded: "[...] once mastered, International 3D Tennis offers the best tennis action you're ever likely to experience off court."[6] The Games Machine summarized: "Combining the innovative 3-D with the variety of shots at hand and the sheer playability, International 3-D Tennis is one of the best computer sports games ever, appealing to many more than just tennis players."[7] Your Sinclair summed up: "Nice 3D gameplay, shame about the sluggish speed."[8]
