Released in 1991 for the Sega Genesis, David Robinson’s Supreme Court is an early 16-bit basketball game published by Sega. While it features the titular Hall of Fame center, the game relies on fictional teams and players rather than an official NBA license. It stands out among early console sports titles by including role-playing mechanics in its tournament mode, allowing you to upgrade your players’ attributes as you progress.
How to Play
Compete in standalone exhibition games or lead your custom team to a championship in the tournament mode. Using the default Sega Genesis web emulator controls, move your players with the Arrow keys. Use the Z, X, and C keys (mapping to the A, B, and C buttons) to pass, shoot, steal, and block. Press Enter to start or pause the match.
Tips
- In tournament mode, prioritize upgrading your team’s speed and stamina early, as keeping pace with opponents becomes much harder in later rounds.
- Defense relies heavily on positioning; rather than spamming the steal button, focus on staying in front of the ball handler to force tough shots.
