Play Great Courts 2 Online

Game Overview

Remember when tennis games were just about fast reflexes and pixelated sweat? Great Courts 2 on MS-DOS nails that vibe—no fancy motion controls, just you, a keyboard or joystick, and some seriously satisfying "thwack" sounds when you nail a shot. The first time I played, I kept overshooting the baseline like an amateur, but after a few matches, those cross-court angles started feeling natural.

It’s got that classic early '90s look—blocky players, vibrant green courts, and a framerate that somehow makes the ball’s movement weirdly hypnotic. Doubles mode is where things get chaotic (in the best way), especially when your AI partner decides to stand there staring at an easy volley. But that’s part of the charm. You’ll swear at the screen, then immediately hit rematch because that last rally was almost perfect.

If you’ve got a soft spot for games where the learning curve is a five-minute warmup instead of a tutorial marathon, this one’s a time capsule worth dusting off. Just don’t blame me when you start hearing the ball-bounce sound effect in your dreams.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
