Neon Retro Tennis

What is Neon Retro Tennis?

Neon Retro Tennis is a highly neon inflected and nostalgic interpretation of the very first video game, Tennis for Two. This pixelated jewel offers a true-to-life rendition of two-player tennis with the modern flair. Filled with retro aesthetics, neon colors, simple gameplay systems that are engaging, and the addition of AI opponents for a single player, it makes for a rather enticing option. While paying tribute to the original, it modernizes the experience somewhat by putting in a title screen and better AI so even the seasoned retro fans might find it interesting while it is brand new to those who aren't truthfully well versed with the retro games.

How to Play

What seems like an easy game to play at first in Neon Retro Tennis probably took a few generations of skill and strategy development. Here is how to get into the game:

• Player v. AI: Press any key to hit the ball.
• Player v. Player: Player 1 has to hit with the "W" key, while Player 2 hits with another key (This wasn't specified, so make sure to check the game controls).

The goal is to convince your opponent that you are the best and getting the ball to stop on their side of the court or into their hole. Pre-requisite, the ball must bounce once on your side before you are able to hit.

Tips & Tricks

• Hit low: The lower you hit, the more difficult it will be for your opponent to return.
• Get into angles: Do not give your opponent a comfortable return by hitting straight-the-ball on angles against them.
• Anticipate your opponent's moves- Since you would be observing the techniques of positioning of your opponent, it would be quite easier identifying their next move.
• Practice your timing- If you hit earlier, you will gain better control over the return direction of the ball.

History

In essence, Neon Retro Tennis stands for a modern remake of Tennis for Two, a historic 1958 game by William Higinbotham. That very game was one of the pioneers in video game history, vividly displaying a simple tennis match on an oscilloscope. The concept carries through with Neon Retro Tennis which gave a fresh interpretation to a pixelate look along with a modern title screen and AI opponents, making a fun homage to the game that started it all.
