Tennis, published by Atari in 1977 as part of the console's original launch, offers a tennis match simplified to its bare essentials: move the racket, hit the ball, cross the net. Without power-ups, statistics, or alternate modes, it's pure reflex and anticipation, designed for quick living-room matches between two people. Alongside Combat and Basic Math, it was part of the small catalog available the very same day the Video Computer System hit stores, and today it's an essential archaeological piece for understanding where everything else started.
