For those in the mood for an absolutely terrible basketball game, I'd recommend Great Basketball. Man, what a train wreck. The side-scrolling court is colorful and well-defined, but why in the [expletive] is it green? You can select from a set of International teams, but all of the players are Asian - wearing diapers no less! The ball moves much like a beach ball - slow and floaty. The physics is so insane that shots completely off-line (with no arc) magically get sucked into the hoop. On the bright side, players scurry quickly across the court, and I like how you shoot by releasing at the top of your jump. While you can't dunk per se, it does look like you're throwing the ball down when you shoot close to the basket. The mind boggling free-throw shooting mechanism is needlessly complex with too many moving parts. Throw-ins are also problematic because you often can't see who you're throwing to, resulting in a lot of high, up-for-grabs passes. That sucks, but what ultimately ruins the game are its unnecessary penalties. These are called completely at random, and even the act of catching the ball can draw a „charging“ foul. Oh well, at least the games are short. The non-stop background music and fuzzy voice synthesis fall squarely into the „so bad they're good“ category. I like the cheerleaders on the sidelines, even though they are larger than the players and resemble the cavemen from the Geico commercials. At half-time there's a modest little show, but it's still more than what you'll see in any modern basketball game. There's definitely some old-school charm here, but with gameplay this erratic it would take a massive dose of nostalgia just to make Great Basketball seem good. - Videogamecritic.com
Great Basketball is an 8-bit simulation of international basketball competition. Choose from one of eight countries (USA, Canada, USSR, Japan, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Italy, Hungary) and jump into the intense hoops action, featuring 5-on-5 play, defensive and offensive fouls, free throws, and three-point shots. Single player mode is a double-elimination tournament. Win a game, and you get to allocate bonus points to various RPG-style attributes like shooting, passing, and jumping. There’s also a two player mode—but remember, only one team can win it all! - Mobygames.com
