Snappy volleyball with offbeat roster and energetic special moves. Lots of fun in multiplayer despite limited depth. A good pick for a relaxed arcade evening.

Video System Japanese September 1994 edition of the Neo Geo CD port of Power Spikes II, an arcade volleyball simulation built on a Video System engine known for the precision of its smash attacks. The Japanese CD cartridge offers extended team-entrance cinematics and a CD-Audio soundtrack recorded for the format. Desirability rests on the cult status of arcade volleyball on Neo Geo CD, on the rarity of the Japanese Video System run and on the absence of a US AES export.
Better with friends
A snappy arcade volleyball where two players send the ball back with powerful smashes and well-felt feints. The competition rewards positioning and the timing of the block, in fast exchanges where a single missed attack costs the point. Readable and high-octane, it restarts easily and spawns fiery rivalries, punctuated by score swings that make you shout with joy or rage.
Is Power Spikes II still worth playing in 2026?
Power Spikes II is a brisk arcade volleyball with a quirky roster and energetic specials. Court reading is clear, smash chains feel satisfying and the visual humour is fully owned. The depth stays limited compared to Windjammers, but the festive fun is immediate, especially in local versus. The CD soundtrack adds tone on Neo Geo CD. For retro arcade sports fans and casual evenings, still a genuinely fun detour to try today, particularly in the pixel volleyball niche.
