Advantage Tennis is a 1991 tennis video game developed and published by Infogrames for the Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS.
Gameplay
[edit]The game has three modes: training, season, and exhibition.[2] The game is depicted from an over-the-shoulder viewpoint.[3] When creating a character, points can be spent to improve different shot types (backhand, smash, etc.), or decrease points in a shot type to spent them on another shot.[4] In the season mode, the player starts seeded 100 and earns money playing tournaments around the world that can be spent on improving shot types.[5] Before each match, two special abilities can be selected like diving or tweener.[4]
