How to Play
Start by selecting your favorite NBA team and a player from that team. The game uses simple controls: a button to pass, a button to shoot, and a turbo boost for extra speed and jumping power. Play against a friend or the computer in tournament mode. The goal is to outscore your opponent by making baskets, including three-pointers and spectacular dunks. Use the turbo meter wisely to perform high-flying moves and block shots. The game is easy to pick up, making it suitable for players of all skill levels.
Game Features
Updated 2019-2020 NBA rosters with current star players. All 30 NBA teams are playable. A fan-made modification that preserves the classic arcade feel. Two-on-two gameplay with turbo boosts and exaggerated dunks. Tournament mode for competitive play against AI or another player.
Tips for Success
Practice your timing for shooting and passing to maximize scoring opportunities. Use the turbo boost strategically—save it for critical moments like chasing down a fast break or going for a high-flying dunk. Learn each player's strengths, such as three-point shooting or dunking ability. Play defensively by timing your blocks and steals. In tournament mode, adapt to your opponent's style to gain an edge.
