Double Dribble, known in Japan as Exciting Basket (エキサイティング バスケット?), was the second basketball arcade game developed and released in 1986 by Konami, following Super Basketball. Much of the game's popularity came from its animation sequences showing basketball players performing slam dunks, as well as The Star-Spangled Banner theme during attract mode, which was the first arcade game to feature the national anthem. These were uncommon in video games at the time of Double Dribble's release. While successful in the arcades, the game became and remained popular and remembered when it was ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987.
Double Dribble was followed by a sequel titled Double Dribble: The Playoff Edition, which was released in 1994 for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. A remake titled Double Dribble Fast Break was released as an online exclusive, which is based mostly on the NES version; however, the animation sequences were ripped from the arcade version.
Gameplay

Several positions on the court were 'hot spots,' high-percentage areas where shots-taken were likely to score points. For example: it is easier to hit a 3-pointer on the bottom right-hand side of the screen. A player could start a 3-point jump shot from the top right or left corner of the court inbounds, and continue the jump out of bounds and even slightly behind the hoop and it would go in nearly every time. Another nearly guaranteed shot is taken with the player standing 3-quarters length of the court away from their goal could go for a running 3-point shot, provided that the shot button was pressed within the other team's free throw shooting circle. In certain circumstances, the display would break away from the full court action and show a close up of the players either dunking the ball or making a shot. Frequently a player would miss a slam dunk, which is a very high percentage shot. The arcade version was a timed play (much like Star Fire), where after every minute of play, the game was owed a credit if the score was tied or the computer is ahead. However, if the live player was ahead, a "free" minute was earned. Many average players could earn the first free minute, but this became increasingly more difficult to do as making 3-point shots became virtually impossible over the course of gameplay.
[edit] Quirks
Compared to many sports-related Nintendo games of this era, Double Dribble resembled its sport with surprising accuracy. However, there were several quirks in the programming that are noteworthy, if only for their contribution to the overall experience of playing Double Dribble. The game clock, as in most early timed videogames (see also: Tecmo Bowl), was accelerated (far faster than real-time). In the third-quarter, third is abbreviated as "3rt."
The game was ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System in September of 1987, which was later released in Japan in disk card format for the Family Computer Disk System under the title of Exciting Basketball. The NES version features 5-on-5 action on a horizontally scrolling court, four different teams (Boston Frogs, New York Eagles, Chicago Ox, L.A. Breakers), three levels of single-play difficulty, and four different choices of quarter lengths. Double Dribble was among the first games to feature cut scenes, which depicted a mid-air player completing a slam dunk, and one of the first to use speech, though in a limited quantity (such as announcing the game title, the game's beginning jump ball, and some foul calls)."The Star-Spangled Banner" in this version was slightly altered, while it was being played in a cut scene depicting the crowd entering the stadium before the menu pops up. The NES version was ported to the Wii's Virtual Console in Europe on November 16, 2007, and in North America on November 26, 2007.
In 1990, the game was ported to three home computers: the Commodore 64, the Commodore Amiga and MS-DOS operated PCs.
In 1991, a Game Boy version was released titled Double Dribble 5-on-5.
A Genesis version was released in 1994 titled Double Dribble: Playoff Edition (Hyperdunk in Japan and Europe).
Over a decade ago, Koei announced a game based on an unproduced Kurosawa script called “Oni.” The game was shown off in the mid-aughts as “Ni-Oh,” Koei merged with Tecmo, and then an entire console generation slipped by. We went long stretches without hearing much of anything about this game, bu...

Bo Jackson was a duel sport athlete in both baseball and football. Bo Jackson will always be known for smashing home runs and smashing any defensive player that stepped in his way on the grid iron. Unfortunately, it was this same unbreakable will to go down that eventually ended his career much to early. To go along with his bruising hits he was also clocked at 4.12 seconds in the 40-yard dash which is still the fastest verifiable 40-yard dash time ever recorded at any NFL Combine. Those that saw him play say he is the greatest of all time.

Jackson's legend was further cemented by his digital counterpart, affectionately known as "Tecmo Bo", in the 1991 video game Tecmo Super Bowl for the Nintendo Entertainment System. "Tecmo Bo" is one of the best running backs and arguably the most lethal athlete in video game history. Players using "Tecmo Bo" have been able to rush for 800–900 yards per game, and sometimes much more. Gamers using "Tecmo Bo" have been known to run all over the field on one play, or run out the time of a whole quarter without being tackled.
The original photo inspired me to take pictures from the Dead or Alive 5 game(2013) to be used as WALLPAPER for my computer and laptop. If you believe this photo is cool, print it out using your ink printer and be amazed.
I should either be wrapping gifts or cleaning; but you know- it's Tecmo Bowl.
