Play Tecmo Super NBA Basketball Online
Pick plays on the fly with real 90s NBA rosters—those digitized "foul!" shouts and dramatic free-throw close-ups give this old-school b-ball sim way more personality than it should have.

Game Overview
Remember when basketball games were simple but still packed in all the drama? Tecmo Super NBA Basketball on the Genesis nails that vibe. You’ve got all 27 real NBA teams from back in the day, plus over 300 actual players—no fake names here. The gameplay’s mostly side-scrolling, but little touches like digitized voice clips and cinematic cutaways make it feel bigger than it is. And that free-throw cam? Weirdly intense for a 16-bit game.
You can jump into quick exhibition matches or go deep with full seasons (even shortened ones if you’re short on time). What surprised me was the play-calling—you actually draw up offensive sets mid-game, which was pretty advanced for its era. Oh, and the battery save means you don’t lose your season progress when you turn it off. Just don’t expect modern controls; this one’s got that classic Tecmo stiffness, but in a way that grows on you.
