About this game

Double Dunk is a two-on-two, half-court basketball simulation. Each team features two on-screen characters: a shorter “outside” player and a taller “inside” player.

In single-player games, control switches to the character closest to the ball—either the ball handler on offense or the defender guarding the opponent with the ball. Two-player games support opposing teams or cooperative play, with both players sharing a team against a computer-controlled opponent.
