Play Future Basketball Online

Future Basketball came out on the Amiga in 1990, a time when sports games were starting to experiment beyond pure simulation. It was developed by Krisalis Software, and it offered a fast, arcade-style take on basketball, set in a colorful, sci-fi inspired world. The game stood out for its willingness to bend the rules of the sport in favor of pure, chaotic fun.

You control one of two players on a two-on-two court, dribbling, passing, and shooting to outscore your opponent. The main objective is simple: win the match. The game's signature mechanics are its power-ups, which spawn on the court; you can grab a turbo boost for blinding speed, a super jump to easily block shots or dunk, or a force field that temporarily makes you unstoppable. Matches are fast and often unbalanced, leaning into pure arcade action rather than strategic play. It feels like controlled mayhem, where a single power-up can completely swing the momentum of a game.
