Duck Tennis

It's waddling Wimbledon as various forms of waterfowl play on centre court

Review

Highlighting an oft-remarked-upon feature of British tennis: "Come rain or shine", the instructions explain, "our ducks are always up for a game of tennis" - and now you can take them on with a range of rival wildfowl, using their wings instead of rackets. Other than that, the game - and scoring - follows largely traditional lines, though there are some amusing bonus animations - when the umpire gets hit by lightning, for instance.

If you'd prefer a slightly more realistic depiction of the sport - with humans instead of poultry - there's always Setball or, if your computer's up to displaying the 3D graphics, it's still hard to beat the authenticity of X-Treme Ping Pong.

Controls

Mouse to move around the screen, mouse button to take shot (double click if you're having trouble serving), Space to lob.

Tips

The shot direction is affected by the direction your duck is moving in (if you get stuck in across-the-net rallies), but try to avoid double-clicking on ordinary shots, as this often results in a foul.
