28: Electronic Volleyball

Genre: Sports / Volleyball
Developer: Philips
Publisher: Philips
Year: 1980
Platform: Philips Videopac

Electronic Volleyball is a unique take on the classic sport, blending traditional volleyball elements with arcade-style gameplay. Each team consists of six players separated by a net line that is open at the top, allowing the ball to pass above into the opponent’s court. Players can pass the ball multiple times within their side, enabling strategic team maneuvers.

Players control the entire team using the joystick, moving the formation to intercept and return the ball. The ball can bounce off the net and court edges but must avoid touching the bottom of the screen to stay in play. A dynamic status display at the bottom updates players on serves, spikes, and scoring to keep track of game flow.

This game offers competitive play for one or two players in an engaging and innovative volleyball simulation, making it a notable sports title on the Philips Videopac.
