Five Tennis Games You Should Have Played

Since the humble beginnings of Pong, tennis has always been a sport that has translated well to videogames.

With Wimbledon now in the rear-view mirror, what better time than now to take a look at some of the past champions of videogame tennis, a genre that's almost as old as videogaming itself.

Here are five of the best offerings from the last five console cycles, starting with the era of the NES and Sega Master System.

The only tennis games I've ever owned have been pack ins. I had Top Spin for Xbox and it was fun and Wii Sports Tennis. I'm not really a tennis fan at all, but the games can be fun.

Top Spin 3 is very promising. They need to fix a few things and improve in some areas, but I agree that it's the first real tennis simulation.

And I definitely agree with superrabbit, you missed the Wii game! Which has to be mentioned in tennis game discussions.

My family and I used to play Jimmy Connors Tennis on the SNES religiously. It had the added bonus of a roster of real players.

Yeah the one thing Jimmy Connors always had over Super Tennis was the real players and the better world tour mode.

Both games really were the "Nadal and Federer" of their time, though.

It's weird that the Genesis, for as great a sports console as it was, never really had a top tennis game.

I'm surprised you guys liked Wii Sports tennis so much. I always thought it was really shallow compared to some of the other Wii Sports games like bowling (my personal favorite).
