    I wound up looking into this because I couldn't believe how junk the back and forth situation was. Apparently the 5200 models had a joystick with a number pad on them. In this game, "Realsports Tennis" (Activision also made a Tennis game for the 2600), that number pad was used to input where on the enemy court you wanted to return the ball to. I have to assume that on a Switch version this would be mapped to the right stick, but they let you go ahead and play with just one Joy-Con anyway, which means it's just defaulting to a neutral position and giving them this stagnant ball situation. _In theory._ I don't own this so I can't test it myself, but that's what I would guess is going on.

      However, realsports tennis was released as an "Atari 2600" game, meaning you wouldn't have needed to use the fancy 5200 controller. However, I do notice that the picture on the back of the box looks different to the version they are playing here.... I don't know why i'm bothering with this as I can answer my own questions... I just don't want to take it out of the plastic wrap XD

      I feel like, once again, Atari could have leveraged the power of the Switch by using tilt for aiming. You know, like have it snap to the closest of the 9 available directions.

      Actually, even though logically this is effectively an infinite loop, there may be a point where there's a memory overflow causing something different to happen (although most likely a crash, it could be decades if not over 100 years lol). You'd have debug the code (or run it at an extreme speed on an emulator) to find out.

    Looks like they're playing that Atari 5200 equivalent of Realsports Tennis. There's more than one button on those controllers, so they're probably not using the other possible combos to hit the ball in other directions. But if the computer even plays it down the center forever, then you gotta blame this one on the programmer. Can't believe it shipped like that too.

      My family used to have one of those plug-and-play things with like 12 atari games on it, including old-school Pong. Every once in a while, the game would hit some kind of sweet spot or rhythm, to where you could put the controller down, walk away and make a snack for like 7 minutes, and come back to find that you won, having absolutely steamrolled the computer, who hadn't scored a single point since you found the spot

      In case you’re wondering, the first game was OXO, a version of Tic-Tac-Toe developed a whole 6 years prior and is currently, according to my research, the only true public domain game.

    From the Atari Tennis wiki: "Tennis was well received by critics, picking up an award for "Best Competitive Game" and an honorable mention for "Best Sports Game" at the 3rd annual Arkie Awards. Arkie Award judges commented that "'Tennis' is as far removed from the primitive 'Pong'-style games from which it derives as gasoline is from the dinosaurs", and specific praise was given to the game's "realistic illusion of depth" and its competitive aspects which allow for "hard fought contest[s]" and "glorious comebacks from the brink of defeat" and which give "more methodical players a chance to taste victory against the kings and queens of hand-eye coordination".[1]:76"

    @natec8435 5 лет назад +1

    Btw, don't know if anyone else was curious enough to look this up, but SUPPOSEDLY,
    according to the atari manual, you can aim the shot based on what part of the racket hits the ball.
    (i.e. if you hit it near the handle, you push the ball to your right, if you hit it near the edge, you pull it to your left.)
    No idea if there's is just broken or what.

    quoting right from the Atari tennis manual
    "Just as in real tennis, in Tennis by ACTIVISION you can aim and "place"
    the ball depending on how you hit it. The angle of your shot is controlled
    by where you hit the ball on your racket. If you hit the ball in the
    center of the racket, your shot will go straight forward. The closer you
    hit the ball to the edge of the racket, the sharper the angle will be in
    the direction your racket is facing. But you'll need to be careful. It's
    easy to attempt a sharply-angled shot and miss the ball entirely. There
    are a wide variety of angles to hit the ball. Experiment with them and
    you'll soon be able to precisely aim your shots and hit them out of reach
    of your opponent."
    watches 2 AI do the same move over and over.
    Yep, real tennis.
