Thanks. Unfortunately I think I missed a contest star, so I will probably try to upload an improved recording. Hopefully this won't take me another decade!

"U.S. Championship V'ball (set 1)" [vball] has sets played to 10, with a time limit of 1:15. So it is indeed possible to get 10-0 in the first set, as my recording shows. Maybe you are thinking of "U.S. Championship V'ball (Japan bootleg)" [vball2pj], which has sets to 7, with a ...

Thank you. This is actually better than I ever managed in the arcade. I could never get past that last level. Maybe using a joystick instead of a trackball made the difference.
