Tennis Arena is a comedic arcade game that takes on tennis. Featuring 10 selectable characters (five male and five female), the game allows for both singles and doubles matches, as well as tournament play and a world tour mode.
The game's characters have some unique traits, such as William Lee Chan, who plays in barechested with baggy pants and a large gold necklace. The game also features wacky sound effects and special shots, which can be deployed after racking up six straight returns.
Players can choose from various courts, including New York City park, a professional stadium, the Sahara Desert, the Roman Coliseum, and an ocean cruise liner.
