Item Description

Most 16-bit tennis games hand you a star and send you on court. ATP Tour Championship Tennis asks you to become one. Its centerpiece ATP Tour mode starts with a player of your own design, right down to birth date, nationality, height, weight and handedness, plus a choice of two signature strokes each on the forehand and backhand. Then it drops that rookie at the bottom of the rankings and makes you earn the climb, adding a skill point for every round you win so each tournament leaves your player a little sharper than before.

Built by SIMS for the Sega Sports label under an official ATP license, the game fields 40 licensed professionals: 32 players from the active tour of the day and eight retired greats who headline the ATP Senior Tour, an eight-player knockout event of its own. Exhibition Tournaments open a 32-player draw on clay, hard court, carpet or grass, and exhibition matches cover singles against the computer or a friend, along with doubles designed for four players at once. The three-button layout is quick to learn: A lobs, B plays a controlled passing shot and C rips the fastest topspin, with the D-pad steering direction and depth.

Critics at the time appreciated the depth. Next Generation gave it four stars out of five for its originality and challenging computer opponents, and GamePro praised the solid controls and the sheer number of options, even if the scaling ball took some getting used to. The career mode is the hook that keeps it interesting today, turning a simple three-button sports game into a long-haul project of rankings and stat growth.

The game is a sharp little time capsule of mid-'90s Sega Sports, when the Genesis was chasing official licenses across every sport and tennis got a release with real ambition behind it.

About the game

There are three game modes: Exhibition match, Exhibition Tournament (where the player competes in a 32-player tournament), ATP Senior Tour Event (where the player chooses one of the retired players and competes in a 8-player tournament) and the ATP Tour, where it's possible to create a player and develop his skills by winning (or simply doing well) on tournaments, with one extra point on each round won. Gameplay uses a simple 3-button layout, where the A button lobs the ball, B performs a controlled passing shot and C allows the fastest top spin shots, with the directional pad affecting the direction and depth of the shot.
