Final match Tennis tribute

[otterboxer]

Well, seen as it wasn't released in the western world and not owning the manual i was looking online to see if anyone had worked out who's who player wise and what their relative strengths and weaknesses (if any) were. And i found an unbelievably dedicated site on this one game.

Searched this site and it was mentioned a decade ago but i think its worth a repost.

Its a hell of a site. Not sure if they are still doing continental meetups though.

Any other fans? it feels about 65% of the way to being super tennis and plays pretty advanced for the time imho.

This site was downright fascinating.  I wonder if the guys on the meet up list are still eagerly waiting to play this game.  I want to know so bad what dealers are, but likely never will.  Only downfall is the guest book doesn't work.

I was pleasantly surprised how tight the gameplay is in this game and it makes great use of the sound chip too.  Can't go wrong in purchasing this.  One of the better tennis games on the pc engine and there are quite a few of them.

FMT is very popular in the french PCE community. SOme guies are very good at it and we play it a lot during our meetings.

It's still considered the best tennis game ever, even by people who had never played it before last year.

I've only played this game a little bit over the years... I will have to put it back on the list of games to revisit

I surprised myself years ago when I actually got really invested in TG-16 Davis Cup... The controls and sound effects were spot-on and the challenge was nice (for me). The problem is that tennis can be a grueling war when working through a "season" (whatever you call each year in Le Tennis).

You are on my short list.
