Wimbledon wishes it had graphics this chunky. Released in 1983, RealSports Tennis takes the high-class sport of tennis and strips it down to pure Atari chaos. Forget fancy stadiums or lifelike physics—this is two blocky athletes smacking a square “ball” across a neon court like their lives depend on it. And you know what? It’s glorious.

The RealSports series was Atari’s answer to sports fans who wanted more than just Pong, and Tennis actually delivers. You can serve, volley, and even pull off some sneaky angled shots that’ll make your opponent rage-quit before the match is over. Add in two-player mode, and suddenly you’ve got bragging rights on the line—old school style.

Why this game serves up fun:

1. Part of Atari’s RealSports lineup, making it a must-have for collectors chasing the full set.
2. Surprisingly solid gameplay for 2600-era sports—there’s actual strategy here, not just button-mashing.
3. Two-player mode makes it the perfect party game for retro nights.

If you’re looking to buy retro games on Retro Games eXchange, RealSports Tennis is a perfect blend of competitive action and Atari charm. It’s proof that even in 1983, video games could turn your living room into center court drama.
