One of the many, many gleaming gems in the Dreamcast’s now tarnished crown, Virtua Tennis is unusual in that it has a special place both in the hearts of fans of sports sims and other, less sweat-obsessed gaming aficionados. Combining sublimely realistic simulated tennis with big-star names (although not certain stars thanks to the faces being far too important and expensive… cough-cough… Sampras!) and a great set of modes, Virtua Tennis was the pinnacle of tennis gaming. Although, let’s face it, there’s really not all that much competition – Mario Tennis on the N64 anyone?
