You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((nihongo foot|'''''Pro Tennis: World Court'''''|プロテニスワールドコート|Puro Tenisu: Wārudo Kōto|lead=yes|group=lower-alpha)) is a [[tennis]] [[sports video game]] that was released by [[Namco]] in 1988 for [[Video games in Japan|Japanese]] [[arcade game|arcades]].<ref>((cite web|title=World Court|url=http://www.gamefaqs.com/arcade/584216-world-court/data|publisher=[[GameFAQs]]|accessdate=31 December 2011))</ref> It runs upon [[Namco System 1]] hardware, and was inspired by the 1987 [[Famicom]] game ''Family Tennis''. In August 1988, the game was ported to the [[PC Engine]] console,<ref name="gamefaqs_court">((cite web|title=World Court Tennis|url=http://www.gamefaqs.com/tg16/589168-world-court-tennis/data|publisher=[[GameFAQs]]|accessdate=31 December 2011))</ref> in which a new tennis-based [[Role-playing video game|role-playing]] quest mode was added,<ref>((cite magazine|last=Patterson|first=Eric L.|title=5 WAYS JAPANESE GAMING STILL RULES: ATELIER TOTORI|url=http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/egm-feature5-ways-japanese-gaming-still-rules-atelier-totori/|magazine=[[Electronic Gaming Monthly]]|accessdate=31 December 2011|date=December 27, 2011))</ref> and was later ported to the North American [[TurboGrafx-16]] console by [[NEC]] under the title of '''''World Court Tennis''''' in 1989.<ref name="gamefaqs_court"/> Up to four players could play simultaneously. A sequel named ''[[Super World Court]]'' was released in 1992, which ran on [[Namco NA-1]] hardware and allowed up to four players to play simultaneously. The arcade version was recently confirmed to be released on the [[PlayStation 4]] and [[Nintendo Switch]] as part of the [[Arcade Archives]] lineup on May 12, 2022 worldwide.

==Gameplay==
At the start of the game the players must select either "singles" (Player 1 v Player 2) or "doubles" (Player Team v CPU Team); they must then select one of twenty different players (ten male, eight female and two robot) before selecting one of three different courts ([[New York City]] hard, [[London]] lawn, and [[Paris]] clay). They must then select whether they want the match to be one or three sets long - and, once they have done so, their two (or four) chosen players will come out, and take their positions on the court. The players must use an eight-way joystick to direct their chosen players around their half of the court and two buttons to hit the ball with their rackets; but just like in a real tennis match, faults, net balls and deuce can occur (but the "Deuce" setting in the options menu can be turned off).

==Reception==
The game received positive reviews from critics. ''[[Computer and Video Games]]'' magazine reviewed the PC Engine version, rating it 94% in 1989 and stating up to "four players can play simultaneously in this utterly incredible tennis game" with "huge lasting appeal."<ref name="CVG">((cite journal |title=Complete Games Guide |journal=[[Computer and Video Games]] |date=16 October 1989 |issue=Complete Guide to Consoles |pages=46–77 |url=https://retrocdn.net/images/9/98/CompleteGuideToConsoles_UK_01.pdf#page=46))</ref> ''[[ACE (magazine)|ACE]]'' magazine reviewed the PC Engine version in 1989, rating it 935 out of 1000 and listing it as the third best game available for the console, after ''[[R-Type]]'' and ''[[Final Lap Twin]]''. They said ''World Tennis'' was "the PC Engine at its sporting best" and that it "has everything" including "superb graphics, top spin, drop shots, volleys," convincing "3D screen separation" and "an arcade adventure" mode.<ref name="ACE">((cite magazine |title=Console Wars |magazine=[[ACE (magazine)|ACE]] |date=October 1989 |issue=26 (November 1989) |page=144 |url=https://retrocdn.net/images/d/d9/ACE_UK_26.pdf#page=144))</ref>
