Super Volley Ball (USA) is a SEGA Genesis port of the 1989 arcade volleyball game originally developed by V-System. Published by Sega for the North American market in 1991, this version brought the fast-paced two-on-two volleyball action home. It's a straightforward sports title that strips the game down to its core: serve, spike, and block without any gimmicks or story. The player controls one of two beach volleyball players on each side. Matches are quick, best-of-three sets. You move your athlete with the D-pad, jump with one button, and swing with another. Timing is everything - a well-timed jump and spike can send the ball screaming past the opposing team. There's no dive or special moves; it's pure arcade volleyball that rewards precision over flash. Today, Super Volley Ball holds up as a simple but satisfying pick-up-and-play sports game. It's not deep, but its fast rounds make it a great two-player party title on the Genesis. If you enjoy old-school arcade conversions with no frills, this one is worth a few rounds. Just don't expect anything more than solid volleyball mechanics wrapped in early 90s presentation.

How to play Super Volley Ball online

Getting Started

Launch the game and you'll see a title screen. Press Enter to start. Choose between a one-player match against the computer or a two-player versus mode. Once selected, the match begins immediately with a coin toss to decide who serves first.

Your goal is to score points by making the ball hit the ground on the opponent's side. Use the D-pad to move your player around your side of the court. Press X (jump) and then S (attack) while in the air to spike the ball. Time your jump so you meet the ball at the right height. Blocking is done by jumping in front of the opponent's spike - try to anticipate their aim.

The game follows standard volleyball rules: first to 15 points with at least a two-point lead wins the set, best of two sets wins the match. There are no time-outs or substitutions. Keep an eye on the ball's shadow to judge its landing spot. If you're playing solo, the computer opponent can be tricky - learn to mix up your shots and don't always spike directly at them.

Super Volley Ball FAQ

Is Super Volley Ball exclusive to SEGA Genesis or did it appear on other systems?

Roughly how long does it take to finish Super Volley Ball?

There's no story mode or campaign to complete. A single match takes about 5-10 minutes, depending on how close the sets are. You can consider the game "finished" once you've beaten the computer in a best-of-three match, which usually wraps up in under 15 minutes.

Who developed Super Volley Ball?
