''Arch Rivals'' marks the beginning of [[Midway Games]]' line of arcade basketball games, and is a predecessor to its most successful entry, ''[[NBA Jam]]''. ''Arch Rivals'' features fast-paced 2-on-2 player matches and omits many of the rules of the game, such as fouls. Also unlike other basketball games, it is possible to punch opponents in the face.

The game is a fast-paced 2-on-2 basketball game that omits many of the rules of the game, such as fouls, though there is a 24-second shot clock. Unlike other basketball games, it is possible to punch opponents to steal the ball. The referee only calls shot clock violations.
 +
 
 +
Games generally follow standard basketball rules; a full game consists of four quarters, with four minutes each. Players are moved around the court with the D-Pad. Each team has two players, and the objective of the game is to outscore the opponent until the final buzzer sounds. If the game results in a tie after four quarters, sudden death overtime periods are added, in which case whoever scores the next basket wins the game. Every overtime period is one minute.
 +
 
 +
Every successful shot is followed by a picture of a person reacting, such as a cheerleader, the referee, or a team manager.
 +
 
 +
The game supports two-player competitive play. Both players always play on opposing teams with an AI-controlled teammate.
 +
 
 +
Before each game, players choose a character, which have different individual strengths. In two-player games, each player must choose a different character.

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 Game Gear version was only released in North America, although a European version was planned.[9]

Gameplay

Arch Rivals, Cheerleader.png

Cheerleader

The game is a fast-paced 2-on-2 basketball game that omits many of the rules of the game, such as fouls, though there is a 24-second shot clock. Unlike other basketball games, it is possible to punch opponents to steal the ball. The referee only calls shot clock violations.

Games generally follow standard basketball rules; a full game consists of four quarters, with four minutes each. Players are moved around the court with the D-Pad. Each team has two players, and the objective of the game is to outscore the opponent until the final buzzer sounds. If the game results in a tie after four quarters, sudden death overtime periods are added, in which case whoever scores the next basket wins the game. Every overtime period is one minute.

Every successful shot is followed by a picture of a person reacting, such as a cheerleader, the referee, or a team manager.

The game supports two-player competitive play. Both players always play on opposing teams with an AI-controlled teammate.

Before each game, players choose a character, which have different individual strengths. In two-player games, each player must choose a different character.

Arch Rivals, Tip-Off.png

Tip-Off
Each game starts with a tip-off, where a player from each team leaps with A for possession of the ball.

Defense
When the player's team does not have possession of the ball, the player can try to block the opposing team's shots with A. When near an opposing player, the player can shove the opponent with B or dive on the opponent with C. Either can cause the other player to drop the ball or move another player out of the way to clear a shot for a teammate.
