World Beach Volleyball 1991: GB Cup is a sports game released in 1991 for the Game Boy. The game focuses on competitive beach volleyball matches where players control a two-person team aiming to outscore the opponent by following standard volleyball rules.
The main objective is to win matches by skillfully serving, setting, and spiking the ball over the net. The gameplay pace is moderately fast, requiring quick reflexes to react to the ball's movement and anticipate the opponent's plays. Matches are played on a sandy court, reflecting the beach volleyball setting.
A unique mechanic in this title is the simplified control scheme adapted for the handheld platform, allowing players to perform basic volleyball actions with limited buttons. An unusual idea is the focus on a niche sport during a period dominated by more common sports games. The game's distinctive feature lies in its attempt to deliver a volleyball experience on the Game Boy, complete with different teams and tournament progression under the "GB Cup" banner.
