About

The DOS version has ten '88-'89 NBA teams, including the East and West All-Stars. You can play with some of the biggest names in NBA history including Kareem, Bird, Jordan and Ewing. Several star players have their own signature move. The Genesis version, which was released one year later, has ten NBA teams from the '89-'90 season.
