About this game

Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball is an action-sports game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, developed and published by Hudson Soft.

Set in a science-fiction version of 2030, the game imagines basketball played exclusively by robot athletes, with Bill Laimbeer as the exception. Teams compete in gruelling league matches and buy and sell new players. With referees gone, a dedicated robot performs the opening toss-up, while players wear armor and weapons are thrown from the audience.
