Atari did have a few games that were multi-player this was one of them. Or you could play against the computer your choice.

Gameplay was very basic. You were either trying to score or block your opponent. After each score the ball would be put back into play by a jump ball. So you had to learn when to jump and get the advantage over your opponent. Also once you found the sweet spot you could score everytime you had the ball. There was only one quarter and you played to a countdown clock that would cycles down. The player with the most points was the winner.

Graphics were.... Well this is for the Atari so they were blocky. That is right you were dribbling a square basketball. As a matter of fact this game was for the most part generated from someone who had programmed this game in BASIC. The players were blocky as well.

Sound was your standard bleeps and bloops that the Atari system could generate.

Value if you liked sports and also wanted a multi-player game. This was one of the few titles on the Atari that would meet your needs. Replay value is a little higher since you could play this game against a human.

Tilt: Overall this game was not too bad. Most of the games on the Atari were clones of arcade favorites. Sports games were just making their way in to the gamers genre. Plus it was nice to have a game or two where you and your friends or family could play at the same time and not have to sit around and wait your turn.
