Image: MobyGames

NBA All-Star Challenge

NbaWare, Inc.: Crappy Microgames!


Genre: sports - basketball

Publisher: Flying Edge

Year: 1993

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 0

Gameplay Notes:

Less a basketball than a minigames collection. Completely pointless as a one player game cuz the computer never misses a shot. Floaty controls in 1v1 makes offense a breeze and defense impossible. All other games are just shooting which is just pressing A twice in the proper cadence. Barely any gameplay here.


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

Which of these sounds like a fun time: Free Throws 3 Point Challenge Horse 1v1 Yeah, the first three are the same thing. Shoot a jump shot. And 1v1 is just go left to run around the defender and lay up the ball. So boring


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

A basketball where you can't play a game of basketball. Brilliant


Art Style Score: 1

Art Style Notes:

Grainy graphics compared to the SNES game. No reflection. Major downgrade


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

Menu music is ok. No music in game and aside from the nice swish sound there's nothing worth mentioning. Poor voice samples


Overall Score: 10

Review ID: 1095
