The briefing

About this game

Future Basketball is an action-oriented basketball game released in 1989 by The Evil 3 and published by Hewson Consultants Ltd. It uses a small court with five players per team, two- and three-point shooting areas, and a three-division league to progress through.

Physical contact is encouraged, with tackles and violent collisions adding danger to every play. Mines and bombs are scattered across the court, while shots require holding the fire button to set their height. Traditional rules such as double-dribbling and the 25-second hand-over are omitted.
