Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball is pretty lame
and you'll need a beer to get through it. Thanks you
and goodnight! Anyhow, this game is utter crap on
a number of levels and might actually be the worst
sports game to ever come out. It's so bad that my
college roommate bought this game for me for $1
as punishment after he rented one weekend as a
kid. Just imagine how bad a game has to be that
after a single weekend it still sticks with you, raising
your blood-pressure.
Bill Laimbeer is apparently some basketball player
who played on the Pistons and known for being a
giant asshole at a time when the entire team was
known for being assholes. It's actually pretty
impressive if you think about it in a really shitty
light. For whatever reason this meant he was the
perfect person to slap on the title about a
basketball game that takes place in the year 2030.
The gameplay was ages behind even NES
basketball games with the action using a really
strange overhead view of the court.
This means that you just looked down at the top of
heads that all looked the same with flailing arms
while they ran about. The games main feature was
the lack of rules and destructive items. Seems like a
cool enough idea, but the execution was
completely lacking. But most shocking was that the
game only used a single button to do everything
when the Super Nintendo controller featured six.
