Advantage Tennis is a tennis video game released in 1991, developed and published by Infogrames for the Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS systems.
Gameplay
Players can engage in three distinct modes: training, season, and exhibition. The game utilizes an over-the-shoulder camera perspective. When creating a player character, users distribute points to enhance or balance various shot types. In the season mode, competitors begin with a ranking of 100 and participate in international tournaments to earn prize money used for skill improvements. Prior to each match, two unique abilities such as diving or performing a tweener shot may be chosen.
Reception
Amiga Action regarded the title as "average," preferring Pro Tennis Tour 2. While Amiga Power commended the visual presentation, it criticized the controls as "muddy," describing the experience as frustrating and monotonous. Aktueller Software Markt praised it as a fast-paced, highly playable tennis simulation but noted that the Atari ST version ran slower than the PC edition. Both ST Format and CU Amiga considered it superior to Pro Tennis Tour and International 3D Tennis. Amiga Mania found the game to be "thoroughly enjoyable."
