Fighting Basketball brings basketball to the arcade format of its era, with fast-paced matches and that physical exaggeration component the name suggests, typical of how the sports genre adapted to the arcade's language instead of seeking realism. It was published by Paradise Co. Ltd., a label with a punctual presence in the turn-of-the-century arcade catalog. It's a minor title in the arcade sports genre, sparsely documented even in specialized databases, but representative of the huge number of basketball games that circulated through arcades in the shadow of Double Dribble's and NBA Jam's success.
