The Verdict

I liked the game very much as a youngster. It may not have very nice graphics and may lack complexity but is fun. I usually played as Michael Jordan and dunked on the competition or as Larry Bird and shot the lights out. This game was fun then but it is dated. i wouldn't recommend it now since so many better games are available.
