Introduce
NBA Live 96 (GB/GBC) offers an exciting 5-on-5 basketball experience on Nintendo's handheld console. Players can choose from various NBA teams and control famous players from the 1995-96 season. Despite the hardware limitations of the Game Boy, the game attempts to replicate the fundamental actions of the sport.
The gameplay in NBA Live 96 focuses on simplicity and accessibility. You can perform basic actions such as dribbling, passing, and shooting when on offense, and stealing and blocking when on defense. The controls are quite intuitive, allowing players to quickly get accustomed to the game's pace. Matches are fast-paced, requiring quick reflexes and decision-making.
The game features modes like Exhibition and Season, allowing you to experience a full NBA season and strive to lead your team to the championship. Although the graphics are in the characteristic 2D pixel style of the Game Boy, they are sufficient to identify players and the court. Sound and background music are also minimalistic to suit the platform.
Overall, NBA Live 96 (GB/GBC) is an entertaining basketball game, suitable for those who want a quick match on the go, leaning more towards an arcade style than a deep simulation. It was a commendable effort to bring the NBA Live franchise to a mobile platform at that time.
