'''''Great Volleyball''''' (グレートバレーボール) is a sports game developed and published by [[Sega]] for the [[Sega Master System]]. It is part of the ''Great Sports'' series and was released internationally in 1987.

==Gameplay==

{{ScreenThumb|Great Volleyball SMS, Spiking.png|width=200|Gameplay}}
 +
The game is an indoor volleyball game using an isometric view of the court. It can be played by one or two players. There are eight teams, representing different countries, and teams consist of six players. After selecting a team, players get points that can be allocated to three categories:
 +
 
 +
*'''Service:''' Increases the speed of serves.
 +
*'''Spike:''' Increases the speed of spikes.
 +
*'''Receiving:''' Increases the movement speed of players.
 +
 
 +
On the title screen, one-player games are started by pressing {{1}} on the first control pad, and two-player games are started by pressing {{1}} on the second control pad.
 +
 
 +
Matches are divided into sets, and the team to win two out of three sets wins the match. Sets are won by earning 15 points and scoring two consecutive points. Each set opens with a serve, where one player from the serving team stands on the edge of the court. The player moves using the D-Pad, tosses the ball by pressing {{2}}, then serves the ball by holding the D-Pad while pressing {{2}}. The team that serves the ball can earn a point if the ball lands on the opposing team's side of the court (or if the opposing team knocks the ball out of bounds). The team can serve again if they score a point. The opposing team gets to serve the ball (but does not earn a point) if the ball lands on the serving team's side of the court (or if the serving team knocks the ball out of bounds). Teams switch sides of the court with each set (with the team on the left side of the court always getting the opening serve); on the third set, teams switch sides again when one team reaches 8 points. After an error has been made (losing a point or a serve), a player can call a timeout (up to two times per set) by pressing {{1}} before the judge blows the whistle, during which the player can reallocate team points.
 +
 
 +
When receiving the ball, the player can initially move the three players closest to the net using the D-Pad. Pressing {{2}} alternates between all three forward players moving together or only two players moving together (with the third tailing from a distance). The players in the back become controllable if the ball reaches them. The ball casts a shadow, so the player can predict where it will land and move the players to intercept it. As the ball is coming down, the player can hit the ball by pressing {{2}}.
 +
 
 +
The player can set the ball (push it back into the air toward an opposing team member with both hands) by holding the D-Pad toward the opposing team member and pressing {{2}}. This can be used to set up a spike (hard hit) or dink (light tap). The player can jump by pressing {{1}}. While in the air, the player can spike the ball by holding the D-Pad {{up}}, {{down}}, or toward the net and pressing {{2}} or dink the ball by holding the D-Pad away from the net (including the diagonal directions) and pressing {{2}}. The defending team can block a spike or a dink by pressing {{1}} when the players are in position.

Gameplay

The game is an indoor volleyball game using an isometric view of the court. It can be played by one or two players. There are eight teams, representing different countries, and teams consist of six players. After selecting a team, players get points that can be allocated to three categories:

  • Service: Increases the speed of serves.
  • Spike: Increases the speed of spikes.
  • Receiving: Increases the movement speed of players.

On the title screen, one-player games are started by pressing 1 on the first control pad, and two-player games are started by pressing 1 on the second control pad.

Matches are divided into sets, and the team to win two out of three sets wins the match. Sets are won by earning 15 points and scoring two consecutive points. Each set opens with a serve, where one player from the serving team stands on the edge of the court. The player moves using the D-Pad, tosses the ball by pressing 2, then serves the ball by holding the D-Pad while pressing 2. The team that serves the ball can earn a point if the ball lands on the opposing team's side of the court (or if the opposing team knocks the ball out of bounds). The team can serve again if they score a point. The opposing team gets to serve the ball (but does not earn a point) if the ball lands on the serving team's side of the court (or if the serving team knocks the ball out of bounds). Teams switch sides of the court with each set (with the team on the left side of the court always getting the opening serve); on the third set, teams switch sides again when one team reaches 8 points. After an error has been made (losing a point or a serve), a player can call a timeout (up to two times per set) by pressing 1 before the judge blows the whistle, during which the player can reallocate team points.

When receiving the ball, the player can initially move the three players closest to the net using the D-Pad. Pressing 2 alternates between all three forward players moving together or only two players moving together (with the third tailing from a distance). The players in the back become controllable if the ball reaches them. The ball casts a shadow, so the player can predict where it will land and move the players to intercept it. As the ball is coming down, the player can hit the ball by pressing 2.

The player can set the ball (push it back into the air toward an opposing team member with both hands) by holding the D-Pad toward the opposing team member and pressing 2. This can be used to set up a spike (hard hit) or dink (light tap). The player can jump by pressing 1. While in the air, the player can spike the ball by holding the D-Pad Up, Down, or toward the net and pressing 2 or dink the ball by holding the D-Pad away from the net (including the diagonal directions) and pressing 2. The defending team can block a spike or a dink by pressing 1 when the players are in position.
