Jump Shot is a classic one-on-one arcade basketball game released by Bally Midway in 1985. Operating on Namco Pac-Man hardware, this early sports simulation pits two players against each other in a race to score the most points. Players take control of simple blue (“HOME”) and red (“AWAY”) characters, focusing entirely on fundamental basketball mechanics without the complexities of later arcade basketball titles.
How to Play
The objective is to outscore your opponent before the time runs out. Movement is handled with an 8-way directional control (typically mapped to your keyboard’s arrow keys). You have two primary action buttons: one for shooting the ball when you have possession, and another for attempting to block shots when you are on defense.
