== Gameplay == | |||
The game offers a roster of sixteen real-life professional tennis players, including twelve male players and four female. All names are rendered in hiragana, and many of these are given as nicknames (including "Boom-Boom", or ぶんぶん, for Boris Becker): | |||
'''Men:''' Ivan Lendl, Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg, Mats Wilander, Miloslav Mecir, Yannick Noah, Henri Leconte, John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Pat Cash, Bjorn Borg, Hukui Retsu (Tsuyoshi Fukui) | |||
'''Women:''' Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf, Chris Evert, Gabriela Sabatini | |||
The characters in ''Family Tennis'' reflect, at least in some degree, the strengths of the real-life players on whom they are based. For example, Ivan Lendl has a powerful serve and forehand, while John McEnroe has particularly fine volleys. The player selection screen features caricatures of all sixteen players, though in actual gameplay, the player sprites are more standardized and cartoonish in appearance. | |||
The game includes real-life tournaments such as Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, and offers play on grass, clay, and hardcourts, as well as a unique "cosmo" surface that takes place in outer space. | |||
Players can choose from three modes of play. ''Exhibition'' mode consists of a single exhibition match for one or two players, while ''Tournament'' mode allows up to eight players to face off in a singles tourney. Both of these modes also include a "Watch" option, in which all players are controlled by the computer. ''World Tour'' mode, by contrast, takes a player through an entire year on tour playing against computer-controlled opponents, using a password save system. | |||
No doubles play is available in any mode. | |||
