This contains a demo for NBA 2 Ball. The game is modified from the source code for NBA Jam Extreme which featured a similar game.
In NBA 2 Ball, 2 players must score as many points as they can in a very limited amount of time. Each player must alternate after a successful basket, but can not trade off until a successful basket is made. A minimum of 3 shots taken from 3 different locations is required. Players score points based on the giant red circle they shoot from.
The game is only 2-players, and is over once the timer runs out. The complete roster of featured players is as follows:

Trivia
- The game’s complete ID code is SLUS-0-21481-90024
- The SLUS doesn’t show up on the CD like it should – it’s only on the Sleeve. The PSRM is intact.
- Iguana Entertainment had been handling the NBA Jam series since the original releases on the Genesis and Super Nintendo!
- Acclaim logos have replaced the Team placards in the background.
- There is an odd ‘reset’ screen that will pop up if you press the Analog button on a Dual Shock controller. The game will pause and say “Controller Changed” – at which point you can then hit a button and choose to quit or not.
- There is no actual ‘end’ screen to the game. Once the 60 seconds are up, you are sent back to the Player Select Screen.
- Interestingly, there is absolutely no mention of any company, publisher, or otherwise on the actual CD sleeve or CD. Only the game’s intro screen gives you a clue that Acclaim had some sort of any part to it.
- The Player Cursors are actually color correct! While P1 is Blue and P2 is Red, if you both fall on the same team, the cursor blends into purple!
