On-Court Tennis is a computer game developed by Activision's Gamestar division and published in 1984 for the Commodore 64.
On-Court Tennis is a tennis simulation in which the player can challenge either the computer or another player. The game automatically moves the avatar to the ball; the player controls the swing and timing.
In 1985, Ahoy! stated that the Commodore 64 version of On-Court Tennis "features fluid animation, highly sophisticated computerized opponents in the solitaire mode, and true-to-life strategy". It concluded that the game was "truly a landmark computer entertainment program. It takes a fresh look at a subject, video tennis, which many considered totally washed out. This outstanding disk proves them wrong".[1] In 1988, Dragon gave the game 4 out of 5 stars.[2]
