Retro Barefoot Babe Game Spotlight: Outlaw Volleyball

Gamers who’ve been around a while should remember the day of the original Xbox. That huge, freakin’ heavy black box from Microsoft had a lot of misses, but also quite a few hot games foot fans would enjoy. One of these was the titillating sports-action title, Outlaw Volleyball. Locking head to head with the Other fan service-heavy beach volleyball title, Dead or Alive Beach Vollebyall, OV from developer Hypnotix set itself apart from the anime-esque DOAX with a more irreverent style of visuals, humor and gameplay. Though OV had quite a few blokes in the playable roster of miscreants (including a couple of FUGLY ones), the spotlight certainly was on the game’s bevy of exceedingly sexy AND skanky female spikers.


Introducing the sexy and skanky barefoot babes of Outlaw Vollebyall!

These dubious divas included lap-dancing porn star Summer, tomahawk-wielding Native American Shawnee, hard-drinking biker chick Harley, British mosh-pit mobster Lizzy, empanada-chomping Puerto Rican Chica Chavez, psycho Flower Child Harvest, Soviet spy Natasha and saucy wise girl Donna Moroni. Each one was of course an irreverent stereotype, but also in their ways quite fetching and certainly exceedingly hot. I have to say, after a fashion, I found the OV girls as pleasing in their own way as the anime-generic DOA girls, if not more so because you know the OV girls may be kinda skanky, but they’re obviously fun and quite down-to-earth.
Best of all, while OV didn’t have the hundreds of bikinis as DOAX did, each girl did come with an assortment of skimpy outfits to slap balls in, and as a pleasure for foot fans, not a single trace of footwear was to be found anywhere. The character models of the OV girls are well-done and detailed, with a Shrek-ish style to them that was surely ahead of its time. Check out the vids below for tons of sexy intros and action from this hot barefoot babe classic!


Bad-ass Biker Chick Harley and Mafiosi Wise Girl Donna... they're my favorites!


The Flower Child and The Indian Hottie add cuteness with an edge.


Mosh-Pit Maven Lizzy and Puerto Rican Chica take center stage. Liz is another fave of mine. Why? Black-painted toenails.


Natasha's ready to launch some warheads. She's got some HOT suits... and big guns.


Easily the most provocative, Porn Star Summer is clearly NSFW. Love her!


These girls don't always play nice... which is pretty hot.


Donna gets a taste of her own medicine from Chica.


OV even had a Fighting mode... it wasn't very good, but at least it was there.

With it’s irreverent humor, overt sexiness and collection of hot barefoot babes provocatively animated all over the place, Outlaw Volleyball is one classic Xbox title that’s sure to be a gem in any foot-loving gamer's library. So, which one of the OV hotties would you fancy giving a foot massage to? Dibs on Harley and Donna! Heheh…

Barty Beart (Stake: Fortune Fighters)

Barty is ready to party.

Here's another barefoot game babe from a few years back. Stake: Fortune Fighters was a 3D fighting game on the Microsoft Xbox. To any gamer worth their salt, its similarity to Capcom's far more superior Power Stone was pretty obvious. But unlike PS clones like Barbarian which was at least well done, Stake by developer Metro 3D was, at best, barely playable. In fact, Stake could probably bag the award of Worst Fighting Game Ever hands down. Even forgiving the bare bones and featureless skeleton of a game (which sported a totally useless 'Watch' Mode where you can't even pick what fighters will clash), Stake just flounders with a broken fighting system with floaty, slow and clunky controls, pointlessly large stages, environmental weapons or traps that did nothing but annoy the player, total absence of any story mode or background and more.

The only good things about the game were the neat character artworks... and the presence of a barefoot babe! The unshod hottie in Stake was Barty Beart, a mysterious and beautiful masked fortune-teller (easily she is probably Stake's version of Power Stone's Rouge). Well, at least I think she's a fortune-teller, since her weapon of choice is a crystal ball, which she throws at her opponents. Unfortunately I know little else about her; the game has sadly no specific storyline literature on its characters. All we know is that Barty is one of the many competing warriors in the game's tournament... and that she's quite the enchantress, with her kinky mask, big, barely-covered breasts and, of course, beautiful feet (which are seen far too little of in the character art). In her default outfit, Barty is wearing those ubiquitous instep guard leggings, but she has an alternate costume in the game where she shows a lot more skin in a blue bikini-type outfit. You can see both outfits in the vid below.



Barty's in-game model looks positively primitive compared to today's Tekken 6 and Virtua Fighter 5, but at least it's detailed enough for us to see that she's got nice, painted toenails on her pretty feet. She's certainly the sexpot of the game, given how the other babes are all relatively conservatively clothed. Unfortunately, Barty also seems to be one of the worst fighters in the game. Despite having what seems to be a strong magical power attack (which I don't know how to do), her basic strikes are so delayed and slow she doesn't seem to have a chance when fighting in-close... which is a fatal flaw in fighting games.

Well, nobody's perfect. I guess Barty's more for loving and telling fortunes than actual fighting. I'm sure footfans will love this beauty no matter what, and I'd be the first in line to give her a warm massage on those sexy feet and give her kisses all over her long toes and smooth soles once the fighting's all done. Anyway, even for this hottie, I don't recommend going out and getting an old Xbox or a copy of Stake... so just enjoy the vid and dream about Barty's lovely feet dangling before your eyes.
