Over deze retro game
Released in 1995 by Tomcat System and published by Coconuts Japan, Space Squash is a unique take on racquet sports. Players control a floating robot that moves across a transparent court, hitting a glowing ball against walls to score points. The Virtual Boy's 3D effect places the ball and court at distinct depths, making every volley feel dynamic and physical.
The game features multiple modes, including a tournament against increasingly skilled AI opponents and a two-player versus mode via the Virtual Boy's link cable. Players can apply spin, adjust shot power, and position themselves for perfect returns. The sci-fi aesthetic, with its wireframe environments and pulsing red visuals, gives the game a distinctly retro-futuristic flavor.
Space Squash is regarded as one of the better sports titles in the Virtual Boy's small library. Its fast-paced gameplay, responsive controls, and clever use of 3D depth make it a standout that showcases what the system could achieve when developers leaned into its unique capabilities.
