International Tennis Open

Resident Evil 4 (2005) is the revolutionary landmark survival horror title directed by Shinji Mikami that fundamentally redefined third-person action gaming. Departing from the classic fixed-camera angles and tank controls of previous installments, the game introduced the pioneering over-the-shoulder precision camera and dynamic combat mechanics. Set six years after the cataclysmic destruction of Raccoon City, former rookie officer turned elite presidential agent Leon S. Kennedy infiltrates a desolate mountain village in rural Spain to rescue the President's abducted daughter, Ashley Graham, uncovering a terrifying biological conspiracy fueled by the mind-altering Las Plagas parasite.

International Tennis Open is a sports video game developed by Infogrames Multimedia and co-published by Philips Interactive Media and Pathé Interactive in 1992. It was released for Philips CD-i, Classic Mac OS, and MS-DOS. It was a pack-in game for some CD-i models. The UK version of the game is available in French and English as it is a French game.
