šŸŽ¾ Racket Attack on the Nintendo Entertainment System isnā€™t just your grandmaā€™s Sunday tennis match - itā€™s pixelated precision, 8-bit aggression, and the purest form of retro rage you'll find on a court without chalk lines. Whether you're smashing serves or fumbling volleys, this NES classic is a nostalgic racket (pun intended) that deserves its due.

šŸ”„ Developed by Tose and published by Jaleco in 1988, Racket Attack brings two-player tennis action to your screen with surprisingly deep gameplay. Choose from a roster of international players (some with questionable backhands), and serve your way to 8-bit glory across clay and grass courts. Watch out for the sneaky AI - itā€™s got faster reflexes than you after a double espresso!

In this video, we grab our NES controllers (or the MiSTer FPGA if you're fancy like that) and attempt to show thereā€™s a certain skill to playing tennis on the NES - even if that skill involves a lot of yelling at the screen and wondering why your player decided to moonwalk away from the ball. šŸ‘Ÿ šŸ’Ø

Expect questionable tactics, ridiculous outfits, and some vintage gameplay thatā€™ll make you appreciate how far sports games have comeā€¦ or not.

šŸ•¹ ļø Whether youā€™re a retro gaming junkie, a curious newcomer, or someone who just enjoys pixelated sports chaos, this oneā€™s for you. Smash that play button - but donā€™t forget to grunt like itā€™s Wimbledon 1989. šŸŽ¤ šŸ’„
