Tennis Ace

Tennis Ace Basics

Tennis Ace is a sports game that was designed to be played on a computer. It is a Flash game, and can appear as an object displayed on a webpage or played in a program designed to open this type of file such as Adobe Flash Player. First introduced in 1996, Flash games have increased in popularity and are found all over the internet today.

Tennis Ace Features

The Tennis Ace game features some options that are very realistic, such as the option to choose from grass or clay courts. Playing surfaces respond in a similar manner to the real thing. The clay courts are harder, causing the ball to bounce higher and slowing the game down a bit, while the grass playing surface has less bounce yielding faster play.

Five games make up a match in Tennis Ace; a player competes against the computer for the chance to win a cup. (There is no two-player version of the Flash game.) The mouse controls the movements across the court as well as the swing. There are three computer operated competitors Nicole, Anna, and Claudia. Each competitor is progressively more difficult to beat. Beating all three competitors consecutively captures the ultimate prize, the gold cup.

Many people put Tennis Ace on their web logs, MySpace pages, or personal web pages. Users viewing these pages can play Tennis Ace with a click of the mouse. The game is also downloadable for free to be accessed from personal computers at anytime. Many free online gaming sites offer Tennis Ace as a download or an instantly accessible link on their page.

Tennis Ace Sega Version

The expert gaming company Sega has a more advanced version of Tennis Ace for the home computer. In the Sega version, players can participate in singles or doubles contests, and a two-player option is also available. When the two-player mode is utilized, competitors may work together on the same doubles team or play against each other in singles games.

Sega Tennis Ace features more technical choices when hitting the ball, such as smashing it with a hard fast shot or lobbing the ball back over the net. The Sega version offers more technical serves than the Flash version. The player can also access many more options to participate in practice rounds, exhibition games, as well as tournament competition. Busy players can stop, save, and restart their game progress.
