All Star Tennis ’99 is a sports simulation game released for the Nintendo 64 in 1999. It offers a mix of authentic tennis action and arcade-style fun, featuring a roster of eight real-world professional players from the era. Alongside standard singles and doubles tournaments, the game is notable for its unique “Bomb Tennis” mode, where the tennis ball occasionally transforms into a ticking explosive, adding a chaotic twist to regular matches.
How to Play
You can compete in traditional tennis tournaments or try to survive the explosive Bomb Tennis mode. The default browser controls for the Nintendo 64 are the Arrow keys to move, Z for the A button (standard shot and serve), X for the B button (lob or slice), and Enter to pause or start the game.
Tips
- Master the timing of your swings. Hitting the ball at the apex of its bounce will result in a much more powerful and accurate shot.
- In Bomb Tennis mode, try to keep rallies short. Aggressively aim away from your opponent when the ball turns into a bomb, forcing them to run so they are caught in the blast radius when it detonates.
