Street Ball!

You can beat the crap out of the other player and steal the ball. This alone makes me give it 10/10. I played this at the arcades (yes, they did have those when I was a kid, Wiseacre) and the didn't do too bad of a job of bringing it to the nes considering what they had to work with and the fact that I swear they were putting out the games so fast at the time that most of them looked nothing like the arcade. Play this and legally assaut someone and get the bucket to add insult to injury!

Arch Rifles

This is the X-series when it goes to basketball, except it's actually GOOD this time. I'd like to see a sequel, maybe entitled "Arch Rifles".


What a classic

I remember going to a pawn shop with my uncle back in the day and getting this game. Me and my cousin used to play it all of the time, it is great. What is funny is the Sega Genesis port has worse graphics than this one if I remember correctly. This is my favorite Basketball title on the NES. It isnt serious, and you can plow people with a punch to take the ball. Plus you can play as a guy with a mohawk. Pure fun 3 out of 5.


Neat little game..........

Okay, the NES was not a great console to play sports-games on. Their aren't any good soccer-games for the NES, for example, although they released tons of them.

But this one IS actually one of the few excellent NES-sportsgames. It's about basketball, and the extra touch is the fact that can hit your opponent right in the face, without becoming a fighting-game on itself.

Although it lacks the option of a league, it's still a nice game, even better in 2-player mode ! It's even far better than serious basketball games like 'fast break' or 'double dribble' for the NES. I guess that says more about those games then about 'Arch Rivals'...........

I'll rate it a 3 out of 5.....
