Product Description
Who needs 3D graphics? This game proves that simple electronics of the 1970s are still a ton of fun. The good people at Mattel brought this basketball classic back without changing a thing! OK, they changed one thing: now you can get a three-pointer. But the game unit, graphics and game play are just as they were back when Larry Bird and Dr. J were running giant afros up and down the court. Pick it up and find out if your thumbs are still in shape! Requires 2 AA batteries, which are included. For 1 player.

Really brings me back May 20, 2007

Great fun! This toy originally came out when I was in junior high school, and it really brings me back! Back to the days before Xbox and Wii! Back to the days when I wore braces! and I had bad acne! and girls would not look at me! and NYC was going bankrupt! and inflation was out of control! and every product you could buy was seemingly made out of cheap plastic! and the job market was stagnant! and Iran held our embassy workers hostage! and everyone in the country just seemed to have given up! Man, this product is a bummer...
As good as I remember, but.... December 28, 2006

I received this game as a present from my wife. However, after a few games, one of the buttons stopped responding, making the game difficult to play. It will be returned to Amazon for an exchange.
One note with the game, the make-it-you-take-it style for 24 seconds is odd, but the addition of the 3-point shot is awesome! The game is as good as I remember especially on PRO2. When quiet time is necessary, the sound ON/OFF is terrific. I gave it four stars because the durability seems weak (fifteen minutes of Christmas morning action results in bad button) and the instructions are written poorly.
Just a followup, Amazon shipped me a new game even before I had a chance to send the defective one back. Kudos to the Amazon customer service staff for a job well done! I'd give the game five stars, but cannot seem to figure out how to change the rating.
