The Spiker arcade title screen displays the game's yellow and orange logo text against a blue grid-pattern background with a volleyball graphic below it. At the bottom, two text prompts appear in yellow: "INSERT COIN" on the left and "1 COIN 1 PLAY" on the right. A small copyright notice reading "(C) 1984 BALLY MFG. CO." sits above these prompts in black text.

Spiker is a volleyball-themed action game released in 1986 by Bally/Sente for arcades. Players control a beach volleyball team competing in matches against opponents, aiming to score points by spiking the ball over the net. The game supports two-player simultaneous play, allowing teammates to cooperate on the court. Controls involve moving your player and timing jumps to set, block, or spike the ball. Matches are structured around rally-style gameplay where positioning and timing determine success. The visuals use a side-view perspective typical of arcade sports games of the era. Bally/Sente produced a relatively small library of arcade titles, and Spiker represents one of their sportier offerings from their mid-1980s output.
