🎮 Play Arcade Volleyball Online (DOS)

Arcade Volleyball is a classic 1988 DOS sports game where players control bouncing heads and rally a ball back and forth over a net. Known for its fast-paced and straightforward mechanics, the game strips away complex rules to focus purely on positioning and timing as you try to outmaneuver your opponent.

How to play

The goal is to reach 15 points before the other side. Players move left and right and jump to bounce the ball over the net, scoring a point whenever the ball touches the ground on the opponent's side. The ball can bounce off the ceiling and walls, keeping it in play and creating unpredictable angles. It supports both single-player against the computer and local two-player matches on the same keyboard.

Tips

Because the character sprites are curved, the angle of your return depends entirely on where the ball strikes your head—hitting it dead-center sends it straight up, while catching it on the edge creates a sharp lateral bounce. Use the walls to your advantage by banking the ball off them to throw off the opposing player's timing.
