Complete playthrough / longplay of the arcade mode of the Dreamcast port of the classic Sega arcade game. Virtua Tennis set a high bar for the sports genre blowing previous Tennis games out of the water. It still remains a near perfect Tennis game in just about every aspect, while the sequels were a case of diminishing returns, it easy to forget what a master piece this first outing was when it hit arcades in 1999. The Dreamcast port of 2000 added in a world circuit mode making it a port that was more than arcade perfect. The roster for the original game included a number of well known players from the 90s & 00s. It's also the only way you can ever see Tim Henman lift a grand slam trophy. Longplay done on an easier difficulty to avoid the hidden boss king as he breaks up the flow and feel of the game not being a real player. Also the Japanese name of Power Smash is truly bizarre what were Sega thinking?
