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.

A Sega Master System version, reportedly identical to the Game Gear port, was once set to be released at the same time as the Mega Drive version[5] in June 1992[2], but was scrapped at the last minute. Some publications received review copies, however.

Gameplay

Unlike other basketball games there are no fouls, so it is possible to punch opponents in the face.
