Played as part of Atari 50.
There's something really striking about Atari not even being able to competently remake games they've already done well. For this, they really only had to upgrade the visuals of the then decade old RealSports Volleyball slightly and they would've been golden, but they went for a more "realistic" approach to volleyball, in the process making it pretty slow and boring. The main mode of interaction here is just walking to a red box and pressing one of two buttons, with the CPUs playing most of the game anyways. It gets an extra half star for being a handheld game, at the least, given handheld games as a whole were all still pretty terrible at this time, but it's weird that Atari's just doing the same shit they've been doing for a decade but worse, somehow. Pretty decent music, though.
