Gameplay

Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls and Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics are the only two players in the game, which allows the player to participate in a one-on-one basketball game, as either Bird or Jordan. Mini-games include a slam dunk contest (utilizing Jordan) and a three-point contest (utilizing Bird). [2]

Reception

Mega placed the game at #7 in their list of the "10 Worst Mega Drive Games of All Time". [3] Mean Machines magazine gave the game an overall score of 40 out of 100, faulting all aspects of the game other than sound and presentation while concluding that the game is "a substandard sports simulation that won't even appeal to basketball fans".
