Summary

HOOPS throws you onto an asphalt half‑court where the pace is relentless and the dunks are unapologetically over‑the‑top. Eight street‑ball legends—Mr. Doc, Jammer, Legs, Bomber, Wiz and the rest—populate the roster, each ready to flash fast hands and even faster moves.

You can square off one‑on‑one or team up for a two‑on‑two showdown, and the game even lets you pair up against the computer. Choose between an Eastern or Western court and tweak the rule set to suit your style, whether you’re blocking shots, stealing the ball, or powering straight to the rim.

The controls let you dictate every play—pass, block, steal, or slam‑jam—giving the feel of an ultra‑realistic playground brawl. The only thing missing is a final scoreboard, but the thrill of a hard‑fought HOOPS match sticks with you long after the buzzer.
