NBA All-Star Challenge is a one-on-one half-court basketball game released for the Game Boy in 1992. Featuring a roster drawn from the 1991-92 NBA season, the game focuses on stripped-down, arcade-style hoops where you select a single star player to represent their franchise in tournaments, free throw contests, and classic H-O-R-S-E matchups.
How to Play
Take it to the hoop with standard browser mappings for Game Boy controls. Use the Arrow keys to move your player around the half-court. Press Z (A button) to shoot or jump for a block, and X (B button) to pass or attempt a steal. Press Enter to pause the action.
Tips
- Time your blocks: Don’t jump too early on defense. Wait until your opponent leaves their feet to swat the ball away.
- Master the shot meter: In the Free Throw and H-O-R-S-E modes, pay close attention to the timing of your release to consistently sink your shots.
