NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC for Game Boy Color

Australia, 1999

Videogame

A 2D adaptation of the 3D console game, this port maintains the fast, action-packed and unrealistic two on two style of basketball from the original. The switch to 2D actually harkens back to the series’ roots, which began in the same style before switching to 3D.

The game includes all 29 teams of the 1999-2000 NBA season, with over 100 featured players. Modes include exhibition games, full season, playoffs and a practice mode.
