Hyper V-Ball on SNES is one of those games that looks simple at first—just volleyball, right?—but the second you start playing, it grabs you. The controls are stupidly smooth for a 16-bit sports game, and the matches get intense fast. You’ll be spiking, diving, and barely saving the ball with that weird little mid-air flip animation the players do.

The soundtrack’s got that classic SNES energy, all bouncy synths and punchy beats that somehow make every point feel dramatic. And the colors? Bright as heck, like someone turned the saturation up to 11. Playing against the AI gets brutal after a few matches, but couch co-op is where it really shines—nothing like yelling at your friend after they whiff an easy block.

It’s not deep, but it’s the kind of game you’ll keep coming back to between longer RPGs or when you just want to slam a ball in someone’s face for 20 minutes. Still holds up way better than it has any right to.
