Notes

[1] Game design & coding by Elton Bird with design assistance from Elliot Bird; additional coding by Raymond Price and Alex Slater. Graphics by Pat Fox and Jeremy Wellard. Music by Oliver Bell. Compression by Jouni Korhonen.

[2] Game supports joypads and simultaneous 4 player matches via use of a parallel port joystick adapter.

[3] Main coder Elton Bird gave permission for ***SUPER TENNIS CHAMPS(full release)*** to be made freely available for downloadHERE [Source: EAGER (old website), courtesy of the Internet Archive].


TRIVIA: Originally received from coder Elton Bird as a PD game for review, Amiga Format passed TENNIS CHAMPS on to sister mag Amiga Power for inclusion as a coverdisk and Audiogenic for commercial evaluation. Audiogenic promptly signed the game up for publication and asked it be recoded from AMOS into Blitz BASIC, so that more players/tournaments and extra features (e.g. doubles involving human/computer partners, 4 player joystick adapter & joypad support) could be incorporated into the commercial release that eventuated into a sequel. Within 6 months, the game was released commercially as SUPER TENNIS CHAMPS [Source: Amiga Format preview(Issue 77, Nov 95, p47), courtesy of the Amiga Magazine Rack].
