Simple but fun enough once you figure out the timing and controls.

Tho it says “inspired by 80’s 8-bit vollyeball games” the visuals and tunes highly resembles specifically that [awful] ‘Great Volleyball’ on Sega Master System. Good thing only the looks were reminiscent from it, this game is a lot better. While it is not recommended for those wanting to rinse the bad taste left by ‘Spike Volleyball’ since this is a more arcade take, it is recommended for any indie sport gamers in general, specially volleyball fans. It’s simple and fun, and has an impressive amount of teams and competitions to choose from (for a volleyball game at least).

International Tennis Open
This game was originally released on CDi, Mac, and PC formats in the mid-1990s.
You can choose one of 9 nations to represent in this game. You also get to play singles against a wide variety of opponents by choosing practice mode, quick match, or tournament. Practice your tennis skills first, then move onto a quick match which allows you to select your opponent (pick one of 4 fictional players) and the type of court surface (concrete, grass, clay). Finally move onto tournament mode where you can select a host city from around the world and start playing from the quarter-finals onto the final!
The action is viewed from a 3rd-person perspective, and the in-game graphics are 2D rotoscoped-animated sprites.
Original reviews of the game stated –
PC Gamer – ‘But even with all its multimedia flash, International Tennis Open is first and foremost a fast-paced, challenging sports sim and a solid computer game, rivalled only by 1992’s Jimmy Connors' Pro Tennis Tour. It’s a shining example of what multimedia entertainment should be.’
PC Joker – ‘It is not for nothing that the version for the CD-i was awarded as the best European multimedia entertainment product - it is not for nothing that the International Tennis Open is now also at the top of the world rankings on the PC!’

Pixel Cup Soccer - Ultimate Edition
I can see how this game shows quite some good potential for growth. I wasn’t aware that there was a whole Pixel Cup franchise, but it seems my time will be rather appropiately spent with this one as it looks like a considerable better development than the before editions.
Looking forward to those new features!

The good:
-Beautiful pixel graphics
-Plenty of competitions, teams, stadiums and more to choose from
-Good sound design
-Fun gameplay, easy to understand and get into
-Basic and good controls
The bad:
-Kick offs are a bit broken, if you align your kick off kick to the middle and shoot at max power, there’s a 90% chance your shot is going to be a goal, weirdly enough, this seems to work better at some stadiums than on others
-AI for defenders is a bit bad, sometimes all your defenders will go up to attack and leave the defense empty for no reason

Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions
In short - Fully licensed soundtrack gets the hairs up when you getting battered, for sure. Overpriced, but great fun. Its polished. (Yep Eye of the Tiger)
In Summary - Still think launch price is high but More depth than you think as all secondary boxers have some attention with dialogue and story. Playing as Luke O’Grady the limited Irish scrapper is very enjoyable and the over the hill ‘El Tigre’ with debt to the REAL Canon Rocky businessmen Gazzo are particularly good fun.
Legends Rocky, Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang and Ivan Drago get their due attentions too, so learn that Guard and Dodge button.

Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions:
Who could forget the sensational scene of Apollo Creed dancing in front of a packed house at the Grand Hotel to the iconic song from James Brown, "Living in America", while the boxing ring rises from beneath the stage with Ivan Drago in the middle in Rocky IV? A film franchise with 8 movies and the upcoming Creed III (2022), which has sold over 1.7 billion at the box office worldwide. A musical and 9 video games, including the Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions. So, who would you fight with to become the next boxing champion? Rocky, Apollo, Ivan or Adonis! Can you hear the theme? Can you? It's time to get them, tiger!

## Brain Games
This is not an ordinary game, this is a whole complex for the development of a megamind. such games are not enough for the modern generation!

Perfect for playing on my laptop while flying on an airplane, since the game doesn't require good system resources and is quite suitable for weak PCs or laptops.

## Handball Manager 2021
Awesome game! Finally a good handball game, especially at times, when we can't play real handball.
It's fun to progress with your favourite club and create a team of all your favoutire players. You also learn a lot about managing / coaching a real club / team.
Unfortunately it only has the real players for German, Spanish and Czech leagues, but with the editor mode, the community can create the other teams. I will share a data set including all Championsleague teams as soon as I'm done.
There are still some little bugs and crashes in the game, but only one week after sending a bug report, most of them were already fixed.

The best handball simulator on the market! Although, to be fair, that's sadly not saying much when looking at the handball games available currently.
The game offers all the options that one could want from being a handball coach. Additionally, the ability to customize your experience through the editor certaintely gives the game a lot more depth and replayability.
However, there are notable flaws. This mainly has to do with the sometimes poor English grammar as well as the fairly outdated graphics - both of these aspects really take you out of the experience. I have also experienced a few crashes from time to time which has resulted in a bit of loss in my game progression. Lastly, the lack of certain official team licenses as well as the sometimes seemingly inconsistent match simulation are also worth noting.

## Table Tennis Pro
I already owned Carom Billiards, Air Hockey, and Super Foosball, and decided to buy this ping pong game to complete my collection of table top games. This is a lot better quality than the other ping pong games that are available. It seems to be much easier to control this game with a mouse than to use my controller/ gamepad.

## Upgrade VR
I really liked Upgrade VR. Four awesome tests that improve my speed and memory skills. It's great that there is a mobile application where I can track statistics.
Yes, I know that it's early access, but in the next updates, I would like to see more tests for the training with my friends, synchronize my data activity with Apple Health, and also I want to see this application on Oculus Quest 2.
Pros:
-Good tests training reaction speed and memory.
-Beautiful VFX of holograms.
-Interesting gameplay mechanics.

If you like the idea of brain training and also extending that to reflexes and hand/eye coordination, this will probably look interesting to you. Unfortunately it's not for me and here's why:
First thing you're greeted with is a screen telling you to download some random app on your phone so you can get a sync code. Uh, no thanks buddy. I've got enough spies on my phone trying to track my every move (and probably succeeding more often than not despite my best efforts). I don't need another, and why does it have to be a phone app? Other programs let you use a throwaway email to register an account, but not here.

## Legends of Snooker: One Shot
Nice game, unfortunately the game connects to external servers (non Steam), which is strange considering the game is has no leaderboards or online play!!! what is the meaning of these connections?
Also the games folder contains server configuration files with strings such as:
```
Mainsoft.Web.Security" applicationName="/" connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer"
channel id="tcp server" type="System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Tcp.TcpServerChannel, System.Runtime.Remoting
add type="System.Net.NtlmClient, System, Version=4.0.0.0
