I was thinking of picking up Cinemaware's TV Sports Basketball but haven't heard anything about it. I enjoy playing TV Sports Football so if anyone could post or E-mail me a response, I'd appreciate it. -Steve M. Suhy

I picked up TV Sports Basketball about 2 weeks ago and I would say that if you like TV Sports Football and you're a basketball fan, you'll really like the Basketball game. Cinemaware has learned a few things from their past mistakes and made a few enhancements to the basketball that are much welcome... You no longer have to use the three fingered salute to start a new game or get out of a subset (like practice on football) and the color situation with your players is much better (you can actually tell who you have control over!). We've been playing 2 on 2 teammates games against the computer a lot and the best we have been able to do is about an 8 point loss to the computer. They have the option to add a joystick adapter to your parallel port and play up to 4 players which I am itching to try (2 on 2 with human opponents sounds like a blast)! I am still a little wary about the computer player, it seems to cheat (sounds like whining! heh heh heh!... the computer players NEVER miss a free throw and hit outside shots you would never believe!) but all in all playing it as teammates with a friend against the computer gets pretty intense and we have put quite a few miles on it in the past couple of weeks (well, at least as much as we can while still going to work and doing other things that people have to do to keep things like girlfriends speaking to us... heh heh heh) DISCLAIMER: I don't work for Cinemaware, I just play their games when I'm not up to my ears in other things. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= _______________ / / / | UUNET: / (___ _ /_ /_ _ __ /_/ | uunet!sdrc!evtracy / . _____)__(__/ /__/_/_/ /__/_/_/__(/__/ (__/ \ +------------------- Mobius Recursive Software - Making Yesterday's Tomorrows Today(tm) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
