Play Double Dribble (USA) (Rev 1) - Classic NES Basketball Game Online Free

Double Dribble, known in Japan as Exciting Basket, is a seminal arcade basketball game released by Konami in 1986 and ported to the NES in 1987. As Konami's second basketball title following Super Basketball, it set a new standard for the genre with its fast-paced action and detailed player animations. The game features 5-on-5 gameplay with four playable teams: the Boston Frogs, New York Eagles, Chicago Ox, and Los Angeles Breakers. While the teams are inspired by real NBA franchises, they remain unlicensed. A standout feature of Double Dribble is its cinematic slam dunk animations—a rarity for 8-bit consoles—and the inclusion of the 'The Star-Spangled Banner' during the intro, which heightened the game's immersive atmosphere. The NES version supports both single-player and 2-player competitive modes, offering various game clock settings.
