+ | '''''Jordan vs Bird''''', called '''''Jordan vs Bird: One on One''''' (ジョーダン VS バード ONE on ONE) in Japan, is a 1992 one-on-one basketball game developed by [[Michael Abbot]] for [[Electronic Arts]]. Originally released for the [[Commodore 64]] in 1988 (as a sequel to the 1983 game ''Dr. J and Larry Bird Go One on One''), it was ported to the the [[Sega Mega Drive]] in 1992. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Gameplay== | ||
+ | The game is a one-on-one basketball game. Matches are played on a half-court between Chicago Bulls shooting guard [[wikipedia:Michael Jordan|Michael Jordan]] and Boston Celtics forward [[wikipedia:Larry Bird|Larry Bird]]. The objective of the game is to score more hoops than the opposing player. | ||

+ | {{InfoTable|imagewidths=320| | ||
+ | {{InfoRow | ||
+ | | title=One on One | ||
+ | | screenshot=Jordan vs Bird, One on One.png | ||
+ | | desc=There are two one-on-one modes, which can be played by one or two players simultaneously: | ||
+ | |||
+ | *'''One on One—Timed:''' A match consisting of two periods of 2, 5, 8, or 12 minutes. | ||
+ | *'''One on One—Scored:''' A match with no time limit where players compete to reach 11, 15, or 21 points. | ||
+ | |||
+ | All baskets are worth one point, regardless of where they are shot from. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Gameplay can be set to Arcade or Simulation. In Arcade mode, players never tire; in Simulation mode, they each have a fatigue bar on the scoreboard that starts out green but wears out to yellow and red as they play, which affects the accuracy of their shots. Players recover energy between periods or by calling a time-out. Players can pause the game with {{Start}} and call a time-out with {{A}} or play an instant replay with {{B}}. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The difficulty of the computer-controlled opponent can be adjusted (Recreational, Varsity, College, or Professional). Possession is "Loser's Outs" by default (opposing player gets possession of the ball after scoring) but can be changed to "Winner's Outs" (scoring player retains possession after a basket). Player one has possession at the start of the game. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The player is moved around the court with the D-Pad and run by holding {{A}}. While on defense, the player can jump to block a shot with {{B}}. The player can try to grab the ball from the opposing player by tapping {{A}}. | ||
+ | |||
+ | On offense, the player can do a jump shot with {{B}} or a hook shot with {{C}}. The player throws the ball when the button is released; tapping {{B}} instead of holding it does a fake out. The hook shot is less accurate but harder to block. The player dunks with {{C}} when moving toward the basket. When playing on Simulation mode, dunking can only be done while the fatigue bar is in the green. The player can rotate away from the defender by tapping {{A}} to make the ball harder to steal. | ||
+ | }} | ||
+ | {{InfoRow | ||
+ | | title=Three-Point Contest | ||
+ | | screenshot=Jordan vs Bird, Three-Point Contest.png | ||
+ | | desc=Played as Larry Bird. The player tries to make as many three-point shots as possible within 60 seconds. There are five racks, each holding five balls. A successful shot is worth one point, but the last ball in each rack is the "money ball" and worth two points, for a total of 30 possible points per round if every shot is made. Bird's position on the three-point line rotates with every rack. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The player removes a ball from the rack with {{A}}, starts shooting with {{B}}, and releases the ball with {{C}}. The D-Pad is not used. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This mode can be played by one to four players taking turns. At the end of each round, the player with the lowest score is eliminated until only one player remains. | ||

+ | | desc=Played as Michael Jordan. Before each round, the player chooses three different dunks to perform. The player attempts each dunk, after which the player is rated on the performance by a panel of five judges, who reward a score between 1 and 10 points, for a total of 150 possible points per round if every dunk is executed perfectly. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The player starts running toward the basket with {{A}}, starts the dunk by holding {{B}}, and finishes the dunk by releasing {{B}}. The D-Pad is not used. A gauge at the bottom of the screen indicates the optimal position where the button should be released for a successful dunk (with the green zone being ideal). | ||
+ | |||
+ | This mode can be played by one to four players taking turns. At the end of each round, the player with the lowest score is eliminated until only one player remains. | ||
