Old but good volleyball game by Time Warp. There are not that many other computer volleyball games I remember, except the great Beach Volley by OCEAN for the Amiga and Kings of the Beach by Electronic Arts, both being beach volley games. Blocky graphics/player animations make Volleyball Simulator a fairly poor simulation of the sport, although it does offer a good range of realistic options, including different ball controls (lob, spike, etc.) and play strategies. The game even includes a tactics editor– something quite rare for its time. Overall, probably not the best volleyball game ever made (well, if there were any more…), but a decent fix for fans of the sport. Thumbs up!
