About Basketball Legends

Basketball Legends is arcade basketball with caricatures of the game's greats, a special-move meter, and a two-player mode on one keyboard. Play one-on-one or two-on-two, win quick matches or a tournament, and use the supershot when the meter is full. It's from the same lineage as Basketball Stars and Soccer Legends, and it has the same appeal: a match in three minutes and a friend to beat.

The characters are the difference — each has a different height, speed and special — and picking the right one for your play style matters more than it looks.

1. Choose 1 or 2 players, a mode (quick match or tournament), and characters.
2. Score more than the opponent before time runs out. Jump to shoot; close in for dunks.
3. Block by jumping when the opponent shoots; steal by running into the ball handler.
4. The special meter fills as you play — trigger a supershot or super block when it's full.

Basketball Legends tips

• Release the shot at the top of the jump; early releases clank.
• Tall characters block better; fast characters steal and drive better. Pick for the opponent.
• Save the special for a tied game late — a supershot is nearly unmissable.
• In two-player, the pump fake works every time on a friend who jumps early.
