Super Doubles Tennis

Challenge a friend to a fast-paced tennis match in Data East's Super Doubles Tennis, released in 1983. Players use an eight-way joystick to control their on-screen athlete, aiming for powerful serves and strategic returns across the vertical playing field. The game accommodates two players simultaneously, allowing for competitive doubles action as you attempt to outmaneuver your opponent and score points. The simple controls focus gameplay on quick reflexes and precision; a single button is used to initiate actions like serving or hitting the ball. Presented in a 240x240 resolution with a palette of sixteen colors, Super Doubles Tennis delivers straightforward sporting competition within its compact visual space. It was also released as part of the DECO Cassette System hardware. Beneath the surface, the game utilizes MOS Technology M6502 processors for both gameplay and sound, complemented by General Instrument AY8910 chips to produce its audio. This arcade title provides a direct and engaging tennis experience for two players looking for some friendly competition.
