Since that football thing is all over (well, for us, anyway) the nation turns – as it does most years – to Andy Murray to cheer us all up by winning the World Cup of Wimbledon Tennis Cup Trophy.
If there’s anything more boring than kicking a ball about on a field, it’s two men smacking a smaller ball about on a smaller field. At least we all get to eat strawberries and cream and drink Robinson’s Barley Water though, yes? Hurrah.
Now you can recreate the utter tedium of tennis in your own home, with Match Point from Psion! Thrill at the detailed crowds. Stun your opponent with the sub-Wii Tennis level of control over your shots! Pay less than £25 for three strawberries! What could be better.
I note that on release, Crash magazine gave Match Point 87% in the category “Use of computer”, so if it uses 87% of the computer you just know it’s going to be awesome.

The emulator used is Qaop/JS – a rather spiffy HTML5 Spectrum emulator.
