Super Real Basketball is one of those early '90s sports games that somehow nails the arcade feel while still feeling like actual basketball. You've got fast breaks, alley-oops, and even Pat Riley's name slapped on the cover—which, honestly, makes it feel legit for a Genesis game.

The controls are simple enough—pass, shoot, steal—but the AI actually puts up a fight, especially on higher difficulties. Dunk animations are satisfyingly chunky, and the crowd noise kicks in at just the right moments. It’s not NBA Jam levels of chaos, but it’s way more fun than it has any right to be for a 1990 release.

If you dig old-school sports games, this one’s a solid pickup-and-play option.
