Pat Riley Basketball

Pat Riley Basketball delivers a brisk, old-school 16-bit take on hoops action for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. Matches favor quick possessions, hard cuts and arcade-style scoring that reward read-and-react play over simulation depth. Controls are straightforward—drive, pass, shoot and time blocks—so local two-player contests spark competitive, chaotic fun while single-player mode pits you against increasingly stubborn AI. The pixel art courts, punchy sound effects and tight halftime pace evoke living-room tournaments and coin-op energy. Expect short games, sudden shifts of momentum and a nostalgic challenge that prizes timing and fundamentals.
