Pick a blocky team, launch wild passes, and slam dunk with those dramatic slow-mo close-ups—just don’t expect the ball to obey physics. That chunky Konami arcade energy still hits right.

Game Overview

Double Dribble is that old-school NES basketball game where the players look like they’ve been chiseled out of pixelated granite. It’s got that classic Konami arcade feel—fast, a little janky, but weirdly satisfying once you get the hang of it.

You pick from a handful of teams (none of them real, obviously) and jump straight into a game where the ball physics are… let’s say "creative." Dunking triggers this hilariously dramatic close-up animation that never gets old. The soundtrack’s got that tinny NES energy too—just try not to hum along.

It’s not exactly NBA Jam, but for an ‘80s basketball sim, it’s got enough charm to make you forget the occasional wonky pass. If you’re into retro sports games, this one’s a solid time capsule.
