'''World Court''' is a {{c|tennis}} 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]].


'''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 {{c|tennis}} 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.
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). Players must then select whether they want their match to be one or three sets long.

The game was later ported to the [[PC Engine]] in the same year, released under the title {{nihongo|'''Pro Tennis World Court'''|プロテニスワールドコート|Puro Tenisu Wārudo Kōto}}. It was later released outside of Japan for the [[TurboGrafx-16]] under the title '''World Court Tennis'''. In this version, up to four players can compete together using the system's multi-tap accessory. In addition, a "Quest" mode was added which mimicked the popular [[Dragon Warrior]] series.


==Introduction==
A perfect port of the arcade game was developed for the [[Sharp X68000]] Japanese home computer by S.P.S. and published in 1990. A sequel called [[Super World Court]] was released in [[1992]] and included the console's ability to allow four player simultaneous play.
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.
