What is Smash Hit Racquetball?

In the bustling financial world of New York City, success is measured by the caliber of one's racquetball club. On weekends, you can observe the legions of well-attired yuppies (both male and female) flocking to the courts to challenge each other to friendly mortal combat. Well, now those same weekend warriors will stay in their cozy corner offices, perched in front of a Macintosh, because Smash Hit Racquetball will be on the screen.

... Although the game is copy protected, it can be installed and de-instalied once on a hard disk (another Mac game first). And Racquetball is without a doubt one of the most satisfying sports simulations to appear on the Mac to date.

The game starts off with a full three-dimensional view of a racquetball court. A smaller window in the lower left hand side of the screen displays an overhead view of the court. Your player is pitted against a follow in the Mac, The two players are easily distinguishable (the Mac’s player appears dimmed), which is necessary once the action begins. The mouse controls the player's movements, while the keyboard determines where on the main wall your player will aim when the ball is hit. For example, pressing the uppermost left key (tilde key) will cause the ball to be shot towards the upper left hand area of the wall. The lower right hand key (backslash/question mark) will aim the ball towards the lower right hand side of the wall. When a player "locks on" to a ball’s trajectory, the Mac emits a beep, which means your player will hit the ball.

The players motions are smoothly animated, and fun to watch. The perspective is quite good (players get larger as they move towards the back wall, smaller as they move towards the front of the court) Digitized sounds of a real ball in play accompany the game, to successfully add to the realism, as well as a command key combination for making your player yell "darn it!"

The game's menus allow the sound volume to be changed, the difficulty level to be modified (beginner, intermediate, advanced or professional), and also provides two practice modes (serving and receiving) There's also a slow motion playback command, which will replay up to 30 seconds of the last play. The game can be paused and continued at any point during play.
