A browser-based reimplementation of the 1997 Windows game Pikachu Volleyball, created by reverse engineering the original machine code (physics engine and AI) and porting it to JavaScript with PixiJS rendering. It runs entirely in the web browser on any operating system.
Use cases
- play pikachu volleyball in the browser
- play a classic 1997 game on any OS without installing
- study how a retro game's physics engine was reverse engineered
- reimplement an old Windows game in JavaScript
- play pikachu volleyball on mobile or touch devices
- learn reverse engineering workflow with Ghidra and Cheat Engine
When to choose
- you want to play the original Pikachu Volleyball without a Windows machine
- you want a faithful, physics-accurate recreation of the 1997 game
- you want a case study in reverse engineering machine code into JavaScript
When to avoid
- you want a modern volleyball game with new features or online multiplayer in this repo
- you need a licensed, officially supported game (the repo has no license file)
- you want a native desktop or mobile app rather than a browser game
