Okay, so I’ve been wanting to get back into some retro gaming lately, and I remembered this old PC game I used to play – Beach Volleyball World Tour. I couldn’t find my old disc, so I went on a quest to find it and get it working. Here’s how it all went down.
The Hunt Begins
First, I scoured the internet. I checked a bunch of online stores. Nothing. I even looked on those auction sites. Still nothing! It was like this game had vanished.
Digging Deeper
Then, I started hitting up some forums and online communities. After reading through a few posts I finally get a name for an emulator and the game file name!
Download time
After I finally got an emulator and ROM of the game, I downloaded them!
Setting Everything Up
The first step in the setup was to extract the emulator, the game, and some BIOS files. After that, I launched the emulator and choose the right BIOS file.
Fingers Crossed…It Works!
I hit “Start” and…boom! The game fired up! I was so stoked. The graphics were just as I remembered – super pixelated, but charming in that old-school way. It was so funny to watch those blocky characters dive around in the sand.
Playing Around
I spent the next hour just messing around, trying out the different teams and courts. It was a total nostalgia trip. The controls were a little clunky at first, but I quickly got the hang of them again.
Final Thoughts
It took a bit of effort, but I finally managed to play Beach Volleyball World Tour again. It was totally worth it for the trip down memory lane. If you’re looking for a fun, simple sports game and don’t mind some retro graphics, definitely give this one a try!
