==Gameplay==
 +
The game is a one-on-one basketball game played on a half-court with one basket.

There are multiple play modes, all of which can be played by one or two players.
 +
 
 +
All fouls are called, including minor fouls like goaltending, and there is a 24-second shot clock. Committing a foul awards possession of the ball to the other player.

Matches can be timed (2, 5, 8, or 12 minutes) or played to a certain number of points (from 5 to 95 points in multiples of 5). Players can toggle winner's outs (possession of the ball goes to the other player after making a basket). When playing against the computer, the player chooses from three difficulty levels and picks the opponent.

The D-Pad moves the player around the court. While on defense, the player can jump to block a shot with {{A}}. The player can try to grab the ball from the opposing player with {{B}}. On offense, the player performs a jump shot by pressing {{A}} to jump and pressing {{A}} again while in the air. Landing without shooting the ball results in a traveling call. While moving, the player dunks the ball by pressing {{C}} to jump and pressing {{C}} again while in the air.

If the second player fails to replicate the first player's shot, the player is given a letter in the word "HORSE." The game goes on until one player gets all the letters in "HORSE" and loses.

Gameplay

The game is a one-on-one basketball game played on a half-court with one basket. The roster is composed of NBA superstars from the 1991 and 1992 seasons, including Michael Jordan, David Robinson, Larry Bird, and Patrick Ewing.

One on One
Players compete to score the most baskets. Baskets from within the three-point line are worth two points, and shots from outside of it are worth three points.

Matches can be timed (2, 5, 8, or 12 minutes) or played to a certain number of points (from 5 to 95 points in multiples of 5). Players can toggle winner's outs (possession of the ball goes to the other player after making a basket). When playing against the computer, the player chooses from three difficulty levels and picks the opponent.

The D-Pad moves the player around the court. While on defense, the player can jump to block a shot with A. The player can try to grab the ball from the opposing player with B. On offense, the player performs a jump shot by pressing A to jump and pressing A again while in the air. Landing without shooting the ball results in a traveling call. While moving, the player dunks the ball by pressing C to jump and pressing C again while in the air.
