Play Street Sports Basketball Online

Street Sports Basketball came out for the Amiga in 1987, published by U.S. Gold and developed by Epyx. It was one of those games that felt right at home on the platform, offering a more stylized and energetic take on sports during a time when many games were still figuring out how to translate real-world action into something fun on screen.

You control a team of three players in fast, half-court games against either the computer or a friend. The main goal is simple: score more baskets than your opponent. Each character has unique attributes, so you pick your squad based on speed, shooting, or dunking ability. The gameplay is built around quick passes, stealing the ball, and pulling off exaggerated dunks that sometimes feel more like acrobatics than sports. Matches move quickly, and the difficulty can spike depending on your opponent, but the controls are responsive enough to make every steal or basket feel earned. It’s a game that captures the chaotic, showy spirit of playground ball without taking itself too seriously.
