Ultimate Basketball is a NES basketball game. It was released in September 1990 by American Sammy.

Gameplay

The game plays like a conventional sports video game. The player choses from a list of seven available teams, and controls five players on the team on the court, though only one player may be directly controlled at a time. There is a championship mode and a single game mode in the game.

The game is unlike later sports based video games in that doesn't use real professional or college basketball players. The players a player may select for his team are entirely fictional, as are their statistics.

It was possible for so many players to foul out that only 3 or 4 were on the floor at a time for one time.
