Hit the court in Tecmo Super NBA Basketball (Europe), a classic sports game released for the Super Nintendo (SNES) in 1993 by Tecmo. Bringing the fast-paced, arcade-style gameplay of the acclaimed Tecmo sports series to the hardwood, this title features real NBA teams and players from the 1992-1993 season. Players can take their favorite franchise through exhibition matches, the All-Star game, or a grueling full-season campaign complete with detailed statistics tracking and cinematic cutscenes for big plays.
How to Play
The objective is to outscore the opposing team by executing effective offensive plays and locking down on defense. Navigate the court using the D-pad (Arrow keys). On offense, use the A and B buttons (mapped to Z and X on your keyboard) to pass and shoot. On defense, those same buttons allow you to switch active players, block shots, and steal the ball. Press Start (Enter) to pause the game and access timeouts or substitutions.
Tips
- Use the fast break: The game’s arcade pace rewards pushing the ball quickly up the court for easy layups or dunks before the defense can set up.
- Master your timing: Consistently sinking jump shots requires you to release the shoot button at the exact apex of your player’s jump.
- Call plays: Don’t just rely on isolation basketball; use the playbook menu to run designed pick-and-rolls and post-ups that exploit your team’s specific strengths.
