Arch Rivals, labeled as Arch Rivals: The Arcade Game on the packaging, is an arcade basketball game which was ported to the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Game Gear.
Contents
Gameplay
Arch Rivals marks the beginning of Midway Games' line of arcade basketball games, and is a predecessor to its most successful entry, NBA Jam. Arch Rivals features fast-paced 2-on-2 player matches and omits many of the rules of the game, such as fouls. Also unlike other basketball games, it is possible to punch opponents in the face.
History
Development
A Sega Master System version, reportedly identical to the Game Gear port, was once set to be released at the same time as the Mega Drive version[6] in June 1992[3], but was scrapped at the last minute. Some publications received review copies, however.
