Solid sports game, not as good as International Basketball but still good fun.

I had this game on the Game Set & Match compilation, it was decent but I was never a big fan of the basketball games

This was an excellent basketball game and should deserve more recognition. Its only problem was that each game is way too long (same length as a real basketball game): if we only could set the length of a quarter to a few minutes, this would have been a classic! Try it!

This was for me the most fun basketball game on the C64. The simple, yet effective offensive and defensive formations added a layer of realism I hadn't seen before in a b-ball game. I played this just the other day and STILL it's a lot of fun. Just wished it had options for length of seasons and time per quarter. Outside of that, the entire design of the game is excellent!

Played this a lot back in the day, but hadn't touched it in years untill recently. Rather enjoyable for a brief amount of time but nothing that will make you leave a sweat mark on you chair.

I agree with everyone's comments... Probably the most enjoyable basketball game that I've played next to Bird vs Dr. J: One on One. The two-on-two game dynamics were very satisfying. And I loved the names of the players... Wilt Dumage, anyone?

Awesome game!!! I loved this one, and i loved that you could play as teammates. Only problem was (as with all c64 games) the long loading time and the usual instability. I'm totally gonna grab this for an emulator if it's out there!

Simply the best basketball game for C64!! ;)

This was a all-time favourite of mine. I havent seen this game in about 15 years! I loved it! I think my buddy and I would play on the same team.

This was the game to own, and like Bonzy said, another great game from gamestar. Full court action, league play, one and two handed dunks, three pointers that took skill and timing. Just fantastic overall.

The best basketball game EVER on the 64.. Great fun against friends, good graphics and a fantastic league mode... Another under-rated Gamestar game :(
