Jimmy Connors Pro Tennis Tour is a competitive sports game released by Blue Byte Software for DOS in 1989. You take on the role of a professional tennis player competing in major international tournaments. Known for its challenging difficulty and smooth animations for the era, the game demands precision and strategic court positioning. You can play against the computer or face off against a friend in local multiplayer.
How to play
Your goal is to win matches across different court surfaces by outmaneuvering your opponent. Success relies on positioning yourself early and mastering the timing of your swing. The game uses the original MS-DOS keyboard controls, typically relying on the arrow keys for movement and the spacebar or enter key to serve and return. You can share the keyboard with a second player for head-to-head matches. Press Right Alt + Enter to toggle fullscreen mode.
Tips
- Use the shadow: Pay close attention to the ball’s shadow to gauge its depth and trajectory, which helps you get into position before the bounce.
- Shot timing determines direction: The angle of your return is heavily influenced by when you strike the ball. Hitting the ball early will pull it cross-court, while hitting it late will send it down the line.
