Okay, so Malibu Beach Volleyball on Game Boy is exactly what it sounds like—pixelated beach vibes and some seriously janky volleyball physics. You pick your character (I always went with the dude in the neon trunks), and suddenly you're spiking a ball that moves like a brick with wings.

The controls take a second to get used to—timing your jumps feels weirdly stiff at first, but after a few matches, you start nailing those awkward dives for the ball. There’s something weirdly satisfying about watching your little sprite dramatically flop into the sand to save a point.

Don’t expect deep strategy here—it’s mostly just mashing buttons and hoping your character doesn’t glitch through the net. But hey, the cheesy sunset backdrop and the way the crowd (a handful of static pixels) erupts when you score? Pure nostalgia. Just don’t forget to squint—those 8-bit graphics aren’t doing anyone’s eyes favors.
