World Court

World Court (its complete Japanese title: Pro Tennis World Court プロテニスワールドコート, lit. Puro Tenisu Wārudo Kōto), is a arcade game, that was released by Namco in 1988, only in Japan; it runs on Namco's System 1 hardware, and was inspired by the 1987 Famicom game Family Tennis. A sequel named Super World Court was released in 1992 - it ran on Namco NA-1 hardware, allowed up to four players to play simultaneously, and saw Namco's signature character Pac-Man making his first cameo appearance since Kyūkai Dōchūki in 1990. It was also the second Japan-exclusive game from the company to feature that Federal Bureau of Investigation's "Winners Don't Use Drugs" screen in its attract mode; the first was Exvania, which was released earlier in 1992 and is also on NA-1 hardware.

Introduction
At the start of the game, players must select either "singles" (Player 1 v Player 2) or "doubles" (Player Team v CPU Team); they must then select one of twenty different players (ten male, eight female and two robot) before selecting one of three different courts (New York hard, London lawn and Paris clay). Ironically, Tokyo was not featured - and the players must then select whether they want their match to be one or three sets long. A female commentator will then speak the three-script text of Ima kara (1P) tai (2P) shingurusu/daburusu, 1 / 3 setto macchi no hajimaridesu. (今から (1P) 対 (2P) シングルス/ダブルス、 1/3セットマッチの始まりです.), before the players come out and take their positions on the court.
