reception
"Great Courts is only the second and undoubtedly the best attempt to convert a tennis game to 16-bit, but it can still be worked on diligently."
- Michael Suck : ASM
The game sold around 500,000 times and was therefore very successful. In 1991 the direct sequel Great Courts 2 appeared and in 1998 the game, Net & Match , which started under the working title Great Courts 3 , was developed with the help of a 3D engine and contained online game functions.
