Man, Tecmo Super NBA Basketball on SNES takes me back. The pixelated players, the slightly stiff animations—it’s pure 90s basketball, no frills. You pick your team (I always went with the Bulls, obviously), and within seconds you’re tossing up jumpers or trying to steal the ball with that satisfying *swipe* sound effect.

The controls are simple—pass, shoot, turbo—but the AI actually puts up a fight, especially on higher difficulties. And yeah, the graphics are dated, but there’s something weirdly charming about watching these little dudes sprint down the court in slow motion when you hit turbo. Free throws are still nerve-wracking, too—timing that meter feels way more intense than it should.

If you’re into retro sports games, this one’s a solid pickup. Just don’t expect modern mechanics—it’s all about that old-school arcade vibe.
