Play NBA Action '94 Online

NBA Action '94 came out for the Sega Genesis in 1994, developed by Sega Sports. It was one of the better basketball games on the system at the time, competing with EA's offerings and offering a solid alternative for fans of the sport. The game featured the full NBA roster from that season, so you could play with all the real teams and players.

You control all five players on your chosen team, passing, stealing, and driving to the hoop. The main goal is to outscore the other team within the timed quarters. Signature mechanics include calling specific plays with a button press, which directs your teammates' movement, and a turbo button for quick bursts of speed that drain a stamina meter. The pacing is fast, and the difficulty can be sharp, especially against the computer on higher settings. It feels responsive and chaotic, especially when playing with a friend on the same couch.
