Before NBA Jam hit the scene, there was Arch Rival. To steal the ball, you had to beat the crap out of your oppenent. Two on two compatition. You can even pull down you rivals shorts to steal the ball. Of course they can steal the ball from you in the same manner. You can also lose the ball if you slip on popcorn or soda on the court. The music was catchy too. One of the best games on the Nintendo. There was nothing like dunking on your rivals, while shattering the back board glass, and then quicky punching them in the face before the ref blew his whistle. More entertaining than most NBA games in my opinion. I'm glad I had the chance to play such a fun game.
