How is your Dreamcast gaming going on?

Be careful with Virtual Tennis TSTR. It can be super addictive.

Good! Maybe now I can persuade my former tennis enthusaist girlfriend to play something other than Mario Kart or Mario Party for once.

Have her play the Minigames for training. Those are just like playing the real sport.

Here is one from VT4:

Just like Wimbledon.

Jokes aside, it is one of the best arcade Tennis games ever made. It can be light and quick or super technical depending on how you play. And there is an excellent documentary about the first two titles:

Your focused persuasion is misguided.

I ain't gotta persuade her to play that, brah.

EDIT: That Virtua Tennis video is really cool!

I never understood why would any one play individual sports games on a videogame console like Tennis, Golf, pool, bowling... why don't you just go out and do the real thing? I am ok with stuff like Soccer, Football, Basketball because you need a full 2 teams.


None the less, VT on Dreamcast felt really solid I just tested it out. I like looking back at things in history and see how well they are made. Things made with love are very different from things made for maximum profit margins and it shows.

the same reason I have fun playing Tomb Raider even though I could just go out and raid a tomb in real life?

I know what you are trying to say, but playing tennis or bowling is much easier and cheaper and convenient than taking a vacation , paying money, buying guns, create dinosaurs, and put yourself in life threatening situation. My idea is that if something is easily done in real life it should not be done in a videogames. For example, you should not do a cooking simulator because you just can go and cook in your kitchen, or gardening because you can grow a garden for real. I feel videogames should be kept for fantasy things like throwing turtle shells in a kart race, fighting demons, or being a hitman something that is very very unlikely to happen in real life or really dangerous. Just my opinion...

[noiseredux]

Just my opinion...

of course. And you're opinion is perfectly valid.

Was just trying to point out that "who's to say what's fun?" Meaning, to me and you, a cooking simulator sounds super boring. But to some people, that's the sort of game they'd like to unwind to.

I myself enjoy golf games. Funny thing - I have zero interest in playing golf in real life though. But the strategy of golf video games are really fun and relaxing to me.

Well noise eluded to what i was going to say about Virtua Tennis. I had a sup that was addicted to it when it first came out. I had zero interest in playing or watching tennis. However, once i picked up VT (back in the day) I was hooked.
