Double Dribble is a classic 5-on-5 basketball game developed by Konami and released for the NES in 1987. It stood out among early 8-bit sports titles for its fast-paced arcade style gameplay and iconic, cinematic cutscenes that trigger during slam dunks.
How to Play
Play through four quarters of standard basketball action. Using the default NES web emulator controls, move your players with the Arrow keys. On offense, press Z (A button) to shoot and X (B button) to pass the ball. On defense, use Z to jump for a block and X to switch your active player or attempt a steal. Press Enter to pause.
Tips
- The game is famous for its “sweet spots”: shooting a three-pointer from specific locations on the court, such as the bottom-right corner, almost guarantees a successful basket.
- Don’t rush your shots. Even during the cinematic dunks, timing your button press is essential to successfully score the points.
