Racket Attack is a 1988 professional tennis Nintendo Entertainment System game. It was released in Japan as Moero!! Pro Tennis (燃えろ!!プロテニス),[1] which the second game of the Moero!! sports series. The gameplay takes place in a ¼ overhead view tennis court with the score being present at all times and an audience of spectators being shown in multiple colors (white, pink, and red). The North American version features an endorsement from Wilson Sporting Goods. The game was released fairly late in the NES life cycle in Europe and the PAL regions, as available sources show, due to the lengthy process of distributing and the fact that Nintendo have still just started to get into the region by the time of the Japanese release of the game.

This game is seen as an overall improvement over the original Tennis video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System with a wide selection of player characters and a deep level of gameplay for the late 1980s.[4]
