Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball

released on Dec 01, 1991

The game predicts a science-fiction version of the year 2030 in which there are only robot basketball players (excluding Bill Laimbeer). Basketball teams play in gruelling league matches where new players are bought and sold. Within this future, basketball uses a dedicated robot to perform the toss up at the start of each match as referees had been fired by Bill Laimbeer sometime prior to the year 2030. As a result, players now wear armor to their games and weapons are thrown from the audience.

I don't really know much about Bill Laimbeer, other than I heard his name mentioned a lot on TV as a kid. What I do know is that Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball sucks ass.

After reading the story description in the bio and giving the teams in my league silly names I figured I was gonna have tons of fun with this game. Once I started playing the game, I realized this game was actually terrible. It's fun, and I imagine I would've loved to play with if I had a friend join me, but playing I could not make it through a league of this game alone. The fact that this game only uses 2 face buttons on a controller with 4 face buttons and two bumpers should actually be illegal. I honestly feel like this game would've actually been good if there was actually a decent control scheme. Even worst (and the reason I mentioned that this would probably be better with a friend) comes from the fact that the ai doesn't have to deal with this terrible control scheme which just makes the game miserable. As I said, the game at least brought me some entertainment; throwing my entire body into my opponent and dunking on them brought me a good laugh. I just really wish they didn't map everything to 2 buttons.

This is horrible, likely the worst of the first year SNES lineup. It gets a bonus for being really fucking funny though, the top down perspective makes everyone look like rotund frogs and the whole game consists of clueless stumbling and the very occasional goal. I haven't exactly figured out when it will and won't make it in the basket, honest to god. Sometimes it'll teeter around the rim then just clip through the fucking net and not count. It's completely insane. Please try this with a friend if possible, probably one of the best and worst experiences ever.
