It's a cool game but most people haven't played it cuz they only made about 300 or so. The free-throw trick is awesome. I great physical pinball "magic trick" ...but not immediately obvious since the shot looks like a typical saucer. When it launches the ball diagonally & it sticks to the backboard magnet and lands in the net, it's a definite "WHOA, COOL!" moment!
Like most, I had zero hopes for this being a decent game since it's a sports theme, a re-theme of Space Jam and from Stern's "Cheap Years" ...I went to L.A.'s now defunct C.A. Robinson and they had NBA & 24 set up. I was more interested in 24, actually ...but ended up HATING that game and playing a ton of NBA instead! Go figure!
