Basketball Nightmare is a sports game that's exclusive to the Sega Master System.
+ Close-up dunk animations look amazing and have much more fluidity than seen in Double Dribble (1987, NES).
- The game's main attraction is its ghoulish teams, yet in multiplayer you can only select normal human players.
- Sprite flicker and minuscule ball size make it astonishingly difficult to see who has possession during gameplay.
- A.I. is dumb, as teammates avoid defense and opponents defer wide open dunks in favour of random backcourt passes.
- CPU follows pre-set lanes, and cheap wins can be gained by blocking their path until they hand over the ball!
- B-movie music during gameplay does fit, but the short track loops endlessly and there's no option to mute it.
