Dream Team USA is one of those old-school Sega Genesis basketball games that somehow still feels great to play. You pick from a roster of classic players—some are absolute beasts at dunking, others drain threes like it's nothing—and just go at it in fast, arcade-style matches.

The controls are simple enough (pass, shoot, steal), but there’s a weirdly satisfying rhythm to it once you get going. I remember spending way too much time trying to pull off flashy alley-oops, only to get burned on defense because I got too greedy. The pixelated animations have that perfect early '90s charm, especially when someone throws down a monster dunk and the crowd goes nuts.

It’s not the deepest sports sim out there, but if you want quick, no-fuss basketball with a retro vibe, this one still holds up. Just don’t expect modern mechanics—this is pure, janky fun from the Genesis era.
