I give up! After downloading the Virtua Tennis demo, and being totally hooked, I've looked around all major stores for this 2 yr old game, and I cannot find it. I definitely want this game in my cab.
I guess I'll purchase online, but I hate to have to pay shipping for this item. If you recently purchased this game, please let us all know where you found it.

This game was only made for the Dreamcast and for the PS2. You must be thinking of another game...

I think you're thinking of another game, not me! ;)
Virtua Tennis was released for the PC. Sega page is here:

You can always check out Ebay. Here's one I found...

Thanks for the link. I bought it.
I'll report out how it works in my cabs.

Oh great! You snagged it away from my hands. I'll get you for that!!! ;D

Now calm down ;D
I waited 2 hours before taking it.
FWIW I found it at gogamer.com, too. The shipping was higher there, though.
I just did a search at e-bay.

It's not like I took the only copy out there. ;)
Also - I noticed at gamespot.com that a 1.1 patch was released fixing numerous graphics issues so if you do buy it you may want to look for that.
You left me feeling so guilty I even included a link to the patch for you 8)

Hey, I was totally kidding. Absolutely no harm done! I noticed the other ebay offerings too!

NP, I figured you were. That was my attempt at dry humor.
PS - we are updating pretty fast here - don't miss the link to the game patch I pasted above.
-
Is this game abondonware yet? ;D
-
btw, I was considering buying it on the dreamcast version.
How fun is it? (one player that is.... I don't htink I would get my kids / wife to play). but I do love a good tennis game.
Is the PC a better version?
Does it play well on a 8way joystick?
-
That game looks great.
For the PC game, is the four player a linked game, or can you play four players on the same computer, IE on a single cab?
-

yea, but thanks to sega, every player needs his own input device, ie 4 players need 1 keyboard and 3 joysticks.

Search this forum for another thread regarding this... there is a workaround to this problem... search for keyword: ppjoy

SO how does the game translate to a cabinet controls? I just tried the demo on my keyboard on my PC. Loved it! Really fun. Good graphics. Etc.. But wondering if it is the BEST Tennis game for a PC.

This is all you need -- all links verified to work from that thread!
1) Get PPJOY here: http://www.geocities.com/deonvdw/PPJoy.htm
2) Then get PPJOYKEY here:
http://allroy.bigdrillcar.com/mame/zips/PPJoyKey.zip
3) And finally replace the installed 'PPortJoy.cpl' file with this one:
