Play Dear Boys Online
Dribble, steal, and sink threes with tight controls in this '90s SNES b-ball game—headband guy’s my MVP, but you’ll pick your own favorite after a few matches. Perfect for quick 1v1 sessions with a buddy.
Dear Boys came out for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994, developed and published by KSS. It was part of that wave of mid-90s sports games that tried to capture the feel of arcade basketball without the hardware, focusing on fast, accessible play rather than deep simulation. It fit right in with other pick-up-and-play titles of the era, offering a straightforward alternative to more complex competitors.
You control a team of five players, switching between them to dribble, pass, and shoot. The main goal is to outscore the opponent within the time limit, either in single matches or a short tournament mode. Key mechanics include a turbo button for quick bursts of speed, context-sensitive steals and blocks, and special shot moves that are harder to block but riskier to attempt. The pacing is brisk, with games moving quickly and the AI providing a decent challenge on higher settings. It feels responsive and immediate, a game built for fun rather than realism.
