What a mixed bag. Street Hoop looks and sounds better than most 90s sports games, the sprite work is particularly good. Unfortunately, the game is incredibly basic, like a lite version of NBA Jam. You only have two buttons, pass/steal and shoot/block. There's no turbo, no dribble moves. Like most arcade games, the AI doesn't always feel fair and the game is designed to get more of your quarters.

With some tweaks, this could have been a classic retro sports game. As it stands, it's just kind of cool to look at for a bit before you move on to something with better gameplay.
