About Retro Basketball

Step back in time to the glory days of arcade gaming with Retro Basketball, a nostalgic journey to the 1980s basketball scene. This retro-inspired basketball game offers players the chance to compete against each other or take on a challenging computer opponent in a bid to become the ultimate Retro Player. Whether you're a fan of classic gaming or simply looking for some old-school basketball action, Retro Basketball promises an exciting and enjoyable gaming experience.

Gameplay: 

Retro Basketball captures the essence of vintage arcade basketball games with its straightforward and engaging gameplay. The following is what to anticipate on the court:

  • PvP (Player vs. Player) Mode: Challenge a friend in thrilling head-to-head matchups. Engage in intense basketball battles where you can block shots, attempt half-court shots, and even pull off some tricky jukes to outmaneuver your opponent.

  • Player vs. CPU Mode: Take on a fair computer opponent who can make shots and provide some average defensive challenges. This mode offers a single-player experience with a computer-controlled adversary.

  • Practice Mode: Hone your skills and test your shooting range in practice mode. It's the perfect opportunity to refine your shooting techniques and become a scoring machine.

Controls:

Mastering the controls is essential to becoming a Retro Basketball legend. The controls for both players are as follows:

  • Player 1: Use the WASD keys for movement and the Spacebar to shoot the ball.

  • Player 2: Control your player with the Arrow Keys and use the 'P' key to take shots.

Note: Starting from version 1.2 and onwards, only Player 1 has gamepad support. For gamepad support, players need to set their own controls to make the most of their gaming experience.

Functions:

While Retro Basketball stays true to its vintage arcade roots, it offers a few essential functions that enhance the overall gaming experience:

  • PvP Mode: Challenge your friends for local multiplayer fun, delivering exciting head-to-head competition.

  • Player vs. CPU Mode: Enjoy a single-player experience by facing off against a computer opponent that provides a fair challenge.
