Volleyball

Volleyball is one of Nintendo's early sports titles. The NES version is identical to the Japanese Famicom Disk version which was released half a year earlier. Basically there are three difficulty levels. Training, women and men, with men being the fastest and thus most difficult mode. Of course there is also a player vs. player mode. This Volleyball game might be the best Volleyball game you could play at its time on your TV screen, but it is yet far from perfect. Controls are hard to master. Spikes are very hard to time and need much practice. The computer player's spikes on the other hand are extremely hard to counter and are lightning-fast, especially in men mode. Graphics and sound are rather disappointing; well at least the strange hip movement of players that are standing still gave me a smile.

Step onto the court in one of the first volleyball games ever made. Select either the men's or women's competition, choose from one of eight available countries to represent, and prepare for some intensely fun game play. The straightforward controls include all the moves you'll need to effectively direct your six-person team. Take some time mastering them in the training mode, though, because you'll need all the practice you can get when competing against challenging computer opponents. If you feel like some multiplayer action, take on a friend in the two-player mode and see whose skills are more polished. Block, set and spike your way to victory.
