Harlem Globetrotters came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991, developed by Softie, Inc. It was one of many sports titles on the platform that tried to capture a real world team's spirit, in this case the exhibition basketball squad known for their showmanship. You find it sitting on the shelf alongside other cartridges from that era, a straightforward attempt to bring a slice of arcade-style sports home.

You control one of the Globetrotters players in a two-on-two basketball game against a series of opposing teams. The main objective is to win each match by outscoring the computer, progressing through a tournament. Signature mechanics include performing trick passes and dribbles by pressing specific button combinations, and attempting the team's famous half-court hook shot, the "Alley-Oop," for high scoring chances. The pacing is fast, with the computer opponents quickly becoming quite difficult, often stealing the ball with ease. It feels like a chaotic, sometimes frustrating scramble to pull off a fancy play before the clock runs out.
