Andre Agassi Tennis is a 16-bit sports title released for the SNES in 1992 by TecMagik. Featuring the legendary tennis star at the height of his early career, this tennis simulation offers fast-paced arcade-style action. Players can choose to play as Agassi himself or a roster of fictional professionals in both exhibition matches and a full tournament mode, traveling across different court surfaces like grass, clay, and hard courts.
How to Play
The objective is to win standard tennis matches by scoring points, games, and sets against your opponent. Mastering the timing of your swings and anticipating the ball’s trajectory are key to victory.
Controls:
- D-pad: Move your player around the court
- A / B / X / Y: Execute different types of shots, including standard hits, topspin, slice, and lobs
- Start / Select: Pause or navigate menus
In the browser, SNES controls typically map to the arrow keys for movement, with Z, X, A, and S serving as the primary action buttons, and Enter/Shift for Start/Select.
Tips
- Master the serve: Timing your serve perfectly at the apex of the ball toss will result in a much faster and harder-to-return shot.
- Positioning is crucial: Try to return to the center of the baseline after every shot so you are ready to reach the ball regardless of where your opponent aims.
- Mix up your shots: Don’t just rely on standard hits. Use lobs when your opponent rushes the net, and use slices to slow the pace and force errors.
