From the US TurboGrafx-16 edition's manual "Get ready for pro basketball so real, it puts your right on the court! You set the offense. You call the defense. Set a pick. Shoot off the screen. Nail a 3-pointer. Or clear the lane and drive for a slam! Now rotate players. Trap and go for the steal. Double-team a hot shooter. Or crash the boards and run a blazing fast break. All the action, all the moves, and all the strategy of pro hoops are under your control with all the real-life excitement of TV Sports Basketball!"
