Man, NCAA Final Four Basketball on SNES takes me back. The pixelated players move with that classic 90s sports game jank—kinda stiff, but weirdly satisfying once you get the timing down. You pick your college team (go Tar Heels), and suddenly you're in this chunky, colorful arena with a crowd that looks like they're made of Lego bricks.
At first, the controls feel a little clunky—dribbling isn't as smooth as modern games, and alley-oops are basically a gamble. But after a few minutes, you start nailing those three-pointers with that satisfying *swish* sound, and the nostalgia hits hard. The AI isn't exactly genius—your center will sometimes just stand there like he forgot why he's on the court—but the fast breaks and last-second shots still get your heart racing.
It's not the deepest basketball sim, but it’s got that old-school charm where every dunk feels like a big deal. If you’ve got a SNES lying around, dust it off for this one.
