Jordan vs. Bird on the Game Boy is exactly what it sounds like—just two basketball legends going head-to-head in a stripped-down, no-frills showdown. No teams, no fouls, just pure one-on-one chaos. Bird’s got that slow but deadly three-pointer, while MJ’s all about flying past you for a dunk that looks way more impressive than the tiny sprites should allow.

It’s janky in that classic early handheld way—don’t expect smooth animations or deep mechanics. But there’s something weirdly satisfying about the back-and-forth, especially when you start figuring out the timing on steals. Just don’t get too cocky—Bird’s fadeaway is brutal if you give him space.

Honestly, it’s more fun as a novelty than a serious sports sim, but if you ever wanted to settle the 80s GOAT debate with 8-bit pixels, here’s your chance.
