Jimmy Connors Tennis is a sports game released in 1993 for the Game Boy. The game revolves around tennis matches where players take control of various characters, including the titular Jimmy Connors, to compete in singles or doubles matches. Its main objective is to win tennis tournaments by defeating opponents through skillful play and strategic shot placement.
The pace of the game is moderate, balancing between quick reflexes and tactical decision-making. Players must time their swings carefully to execute different types of shots such as lobs, slices, and smashes. A unique mechanic in the game is the use of limited energy, requiring players to manage their stamina during matches, which affects performance as the game progresses.
Jimmy Connors Tennis features a top-down perspective, offering clear visibility of court positioning. An unusual idea implemented is the incorporation of a career mode, where progression is tracked through tournaments. This adds a layer of depth uncommon in many handheld sports titles of its era, making the gameplay experience more engaging and structured.
