[edit]

The game was in development for three years.[1]

Reception

[edit]

Dennis Lynch from Chicago Tribune stated "Consequently, though it looks great, it soon becomes a bore. This is one basketball program that should be bounced.[3]

German magazine Power Play stated "Basketball freaks should strike – those who want to become one should take a look – the extensive manual helps just fine. However, this program is not suitable for action athletes"[7]

Albuquerque Journal said "These are minor problems and can be corrected, but for a price tag of nearly $50 in most local stores, one has the right to expect a little more accuracy".[9]
