The volleyball "teams" consist of only one player each: creatures composed of large round heads with feet and exaggerated facial features. This simple game has become somewhat of a cult classic.

Even though NASCAR broke into the video game market in 1990, it would take several more years until NASCAR would see another title hit store shelves. In 1994, Papyrus Design Group, a up-and-coming simulation racing developer (at the time) that was best known for the IndyCar Racing series, released NASCAR Racing into the video game market. The game was a huge success. This game, with its revolutionary and dynamic car physics system, changed the image of many people that NASCAR was "just a boring sport where you watched cars make left hand turns all day" . Over the next decade Papyrus, and eventually Sierra Entertainment continued producing NASCAR Racing games. The NASCAR Racing games were universally praised for their accuracy in terms of physics and track feel, with NASCAR Cup and Busch series drivers regularly practicing for upcoming tracks using the games. Many believe that NASCAR Racing 2003 is still, years later, the most accurate stock car racing game ever released. The fact that unopened copies of NR2003 are selling for $130+ is testament to this fact (while unsold copies of NASCAR Thunder 2003 languish in bargain bins at $10). In 2003, EA Sports received an exclusive console license to produce NASCAR games, eliminating Papyrus and Hasbro Interactive as competitors (Papyrus wanted to produce a console version as well, but a PC only title was no longer in the business plan, hence creating a de facto coup by EA). ...more on Wikipedia about "NASCAR video games"
