This cartridge has two games on it: Super Spike Volleyball (tonight's game) and Nintendo World Cup soccer. I am terrible at both.
You get to pick your player, but they all look the same. Except their Speedo colors, of course.
Perhaps the most annoying thing about this game (other than the weirdly loud sand sound you make when you dive for the ball and miss) is that sometimes it switches you to controlling the other player on your team. By this, I mean, in the photo above, I'm serving, but once the other team returned the ball, my little [1] was over top of the other player, because he was closer to the ball. I can only assume it's a lack of good AI from 1988, because he was only good for setting the ball up for me, he never actually returned it over the net.
It also took me way longer than I'm comfortable admitting to figure out how to spike the stupid ball. The A button is a regular set, and the B button gets you up in the air, but the timing of hitting B to jump up and A to actually HIT the ball to spike it, was... well, there was a learning curve.
Womp womp. Look at my team hanging their heads in shame at the score of 2-15. Ouch.
