Follow-up to One on One from 1983. Another basketball game based on the televised “one-on-one” basketball exhibitions of the 60’s, this time featuring Larry Bird and Michael Jordan. This time, EA adds EGA graphics to the original gameplay as well as additional play-modes such as 3-point contest and slam dunk contest. A great game in every respect, although it doesn’t have quite the same charm as its CGA predecessor… probably because it’s no longer pioneering the new genre 😉 Still a must-play for every basketball fan, though.
