Tennis for the Nintendo GameBoy is a classic sports simulation video game that belongs to the sports genre. Released in 1989 as part of the GameBoy's launch lineup, it features simple yet engaging gameplay where players can compete in singles matches against the computer or against a friend using the GameBoy's link cable. The controls are straightforward, with players moving their character across the court to hit the ball using the d-pad, aiming to win points, games, and ultimately sets to win the match. With its pixelated graphics and rudimentary sound effects, Tennis captures the fundamental essence of the sport in a portable format.
