Glamour Comes to Video Games

Beach Spikers (Virtua Beach Volleyball) rides on the crest of the wave of popularity for sports games. You've all watched in awe and splendour at the sport at the Sydney Olympics. Now you can play the worlds first Video Arcade Game of Beach Volleyball.

Production is scheduled for early July and is sure to be the sizzling sensation of the summer. The game will be housed in the acclaimed Naomi Universal Cabinet. Players can experience the heat and sunshine of the summer, clear blue sky, pure white sand and gorgeous bikini clad babes all from their local arcade with the debut of this extremely funky sporting game.

Sega Amusements Europe Ltd, Sales Director – Paul Williams commented "This game is an epic masterpiece that combines flash and substance in a format that is as exiting to watch as it is too play. The ultimate power of the Naomi 2 game board brings graphic quality never before realised allowing almost every grain of sand on the beach and every water particle in the clouds to be visualised. "

A combination of intuitive pick up and control joystick and 2-button operation makes gameplay simple but fast and intense. Learn to serve, receive, block, set-up, feint and spike the ball all with a touch of the button. Use the power gauge to adjust the strength of each movement. Rapid camera view changes and angles give an exciting dynamic TV like action suspense.

Sega Amusements Europe Ltd, Sales Manager – Liz Ward commented "We are exceptionally pleased to see this game in it's entirety. The concept originally came from an idea from our Italian distributor, Tecnoplay well before all the publicity that Beach Volleyball received at the Olympics. We have worked very closely with Tecnoplay and our R&D departments in Japan to develop this game. It is very gratifying to see such a tremendous end result."

There is a choice of 8 different teams – Italy, Spain, France, Japan, Cuba, Australia, Brazil and USA each with their own unique style of play to choose from. Use the intricacies of each teams attributes to outsmart your opponent. There is also a choice of 4 different stadiums and stages to play – Mikasa and Sega (Daytime), Swatch (Evening) and Coca-Cola (Night). Play the game in either Single Play, Match Play or Tag Team Play.
