Rap Basketball
| description | This is a really early demo for a basketball game featuring rappers. It was called "Rap Basketball" by the developer, but there is no way to know what the final title would have been. |

| __long_description | This game is a rather incomplete half-court basketball video game that was supposed to feature rappers Ice-T and LL Cool J. The development team was contracted to make the game by an outside company (presumably Eware), but since that company went under, so did Rap Basketball. This publisher supposedly had licenses from the rappers, but the developers are kind of skeptical about it. This game is completely unrelated to Mandigo's Rap Jam Vol. 1, and was being developed earlier.
As you can see, this game is an early alpha. The basic gameplay is half-court, 2-on-2 basketball. However, your opponents are frozen in place, your teammate just follows you around, and you can't score points. The basketball is controlled with the A button, which causes it to bounce around (you don't need to hold the ball to make it bounce). You make your character run with the X button. Since you can't shoot, playing this is rather pointless. Pressing start brings up the company logos. The background graphics are fairly nice, but the sprites are faceless and poorly animated. On a nicer note, the music track is very cool. |
