King Atari Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 And I actually became addicted while playing it on the Jakks controller! I instantly went out and bought it at the used games shop (for $2.50). Very fun li'l game. The graphics aren't astounding, but they do their job well enough. The game is colorful, and the gameplay is pretty good. Kind of like King's of the Beach for the 2600. Anyone else find this game incredibly addicting?

Video Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I wasn't aware there was a voleyball game for the 2600. I never liked much sports games, but I would like to see RS VB, I played Tennis a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Yancey Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I play it on Jakk's too when I'm on the road. I like how the sun sets and the moon comes out and the volleyball shadow disappears when you have a long game. Pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Hehe...I will admit and fess up that RS VB is the ONLY real 2600 sports title that I really enjoy playing. I never lose against the computer now. I do in fact have this cart with Mr. Polaro's signature on it. PS. You guys actually had a game last long enough to see the shark? Mr. Polaro explained to me that the Shark is an easter egg in the game. I don't think it is triggered by any special things...you just basically keep the game running until it really dark and you will see a Fin every now and then pop up...hehe Good stuff...

I wouldn't mind getting my copy signed, though to the untrained eye it might look like some kid 'autographed' it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I agree with Crossbow, RS Volleyball is the only RS game worth playing. Shoot, it might be the BEST Atari sports game of all time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 By far the best Realsports title. Sure beats the three squares that pass for "players" in Pele's Soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Atari Posted June 25, 2003 Author Share Posted June 25, 2003 By far the best Realsports title. Although it's close between this and RS Boxing, I agree. RS Baseball was a joke, as was RS Soccer. RS Football was okay, but can't hold a candle next to Super Football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I dunno about that. Id say it is BY FAR a strong second. By for me, Real Sports Tennis on the 2600 is STILL the best tennis game I've ever played, and my favorite 2600 sports game. RSVB is -EASILY- the second best 2600 sports game, though, I agree, and a real unsung hero of 2600 games in general. Great look and play. I'd love to have a signed copy :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 for me, Real Sports Tennis on the 2600 is STILL the best tennis game I've ever played, and my favorite 2600 sports game. Ugh... You must be 100x better than me at it then. I spend the whole game volleying against the computer and can never score a point. If you think RS Tennis is the best, you need to try Virtua Tennis on the Dreamcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted June 25, 2003 Author Share Posted June 25, 2003 I like RS Tennis, it's like an enhanced version of Activision's Tennis. I'm just not much of a tennis fan, though (I want to play Virtua Tennis for Dreamcast). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are -EASILY- the next best tennis games to 26kRST tho :-) and, yes, it's not really enjoyable if you are not fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I really like Realsports Volleyball but I put Double Dunk as the best 2600 sports game by far. Super Football is second and it's too tough to rank the others. But RS VB is up there close to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron_Albanese_Again Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 1982: I learn of a volleyball game coming out for Atari ... I instantly start saving up my allowance, though in real life I have no interest in the sport whatsoever ... I buy it, and love it! Great game, and I still play it on the 26 itself, Stella, etc. A great acheivement of playability, probably the coolest of the RS series, and certainly unique in the 2600 catalog ... It's kinda like an octogon ball, aint it? Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard to top that funky dance... *Starts doing an idiotic impression of the dance while humming that tune* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
