Hyper Dunk - The Playoff Edition
-
Version
1.0
Double Dribble is a basketball video game by Konami.
The original version was an arcade game released in
1986. In September of 1987 a version followed for
Nintendo's Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy
in 1991 (called Double Dribble 5-on-5). A version was
also released for the Commodore 64 computer.
The NES version features 5-on-5 action on a
horizontally scrolling court, four different teams
(Boston Frogs, New York Eagles, Chicago Ox, L.A.
Breakers), three levels of single-play difficulty, and
four different choices of quarter lengths. Double
Dribble was among the first games to feature cut
scenes, which depicted a mid-air player completing a
slam dunk, and one of the first to use speech, though
in a limited quantity (such as announcing the game
title and the game's beginning jump ball). The game
was also notable for "The Star-Spangled Banner" being
played in a cut scene depicting the crowd entering the
stadium before the match begins, as well as displaying
a half-time cheerleader performance.
