Arch Rivals, labeled as Arch Rivals: The Arcade Game on the packaging, is an arcade basketball game which was ported to the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Game Gear. The Mega Drive version says on the copyright screen "For use on Sega Genesis/Megadrive and Master System", which sounds like a Master System port may have been developed. Unlike other basketball games there are no fouls, so it is possible to punch opponents in the face.
