Play Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball Online

Bill Laimbeer’s Combat Basketball is basically what happens if you take NBA Jam, crank the violence up to 11, and drop it into a weird cyberpunk future. The SNES version tones down the original’s over-the-top 2190 dystopia (now it’s just 2030, and apparently Bill Laimbeer runs the NBA like a gladiator pit).

You’ve got five players per team, but forget dribbling rules—this is full-contact hoops where shoving opponents into landmines is a legit strategy. The shooting mechanic’s oddly satisfying once you get the hang of holding the button to adjust arc while dodging tackles. And yeah, there’s still a three-point line, because even in the future, some traditions die hard.

The league mode’s got three divisions to claw through, and honestly? Watching your power forward clothesline a guy mid-dunk never gets old. It’s janky, chaotic, and somehow feels like basketball’s deranged cousin.
