BUGS: Sometimes when players rebound, dunk or get pushed, the players image does not go up but executes the action anyway. So you will get like a low-flying dunk.

Trivia

I believe this is the first NBA game that actually rocks all the way. It can keep you going for hours, certainly when you are with some friends. I am pretty sure it is the first game to use "Double Dunks" and it contains some of the coolest dunks ever seen. There is also a pc version available, which is an excellent port of the Arcade version.

Cabinet Information

The game was released in a dedicated 25-inch four-player cabinet and in conversion kit form.
