The joyful simplicity of a game that only requires one button really needs to be appreciated. Between the extreme limitations of the Atari 2600 and the gameplay they managed to squeak out of it, pound for pound this is one of the most impressive sports games ever made. Even 35 years later, it’s a lot of fun to boot this up and make some crazy pump fake plays after stealing the ball from your homie over a couple of beers. Any game that’s been around this long and is still fun to play is a gem. Even the AI is pretty fun to square up against.
