This always looked really impressive but I always found this game really tough. Hitting the ball is a nuisance, I am very lucky to score one point in this game. But the graphics are pretty nice and its really well programmed. There also a nice touch of Jonah Barrington's voice calling out the scores during the game, although it is barely audible.

I am certain the avid squash fan will love this and it might be more fun with two players. Jonah Barrington's Squash looks great but its gameplay for me was a little ineffective.

This is the only squash game I know of. I remember quite distinctively the day I bought it. I asked the store owner what was the game about, and he "duh-ed" me and said "it's a squash game, of course!" Well, I knew nothing about that squashy thing, so I asked him again and he pointed out to a copy of Match Point - "it's like indoor tennis, obviously, don't you know?!" - he said. Well, I was a 10 year old kid and he was about 35, so I shouldn't have felt so ashamed after I gave him this unconvincing response: - Oh yeah, I know what it is, I play it monthly at the gym with a pal... - then payed the game and left.

Moving on, JB's Squash it's not the easiest tennis game, it's harder than Match Point, even in the easiest level, and takes a lot of practice just to keep in the game. After a week or so of continuous play, the hang settles in and the game gets a lot more challenging and fun. I not a fan of the graphics, they look a bit rough on the edges and not very realistic, but work fine. The voice on the scores is a great touch and everyone I knew back then was wowed by it!

Overall, Squash is a really nice game, but very demanding if you wanna win any games, so be prepared to practice a lot.

This is a great quality squash simulator !

A very nice and competent alternative to Match Point !

A bit difficult , though , but nothing too nasty !

4 / 5 .

It's well programmed and very accurate, but it was bloody hard too. But seeing that a lot of football games are crap, a nice squash game is very refreshing. And from the same fella who done Trashman too, that will be why it's so good.
