NBA Give 'N Go

NBA Give 'N Go is a fast-paced basketball game for the SNES that was developed by Konami in 1995. Based on the arcade original Run and Gun, it brings fast-paced 5-on-5 basketball with an official NBA license directly into your living room - including all teams and real players from the 1994/95 season.

NBA Give 'N Go focuses on fast gameplay and simple arcade-style controls. Compared to realistic basketball simulations, NBA Give 'N Go focuses on fun: fast passes, spectacular dunks, blocks and steals make for an action-packed gaming experience. The title Give 'N Go stands for the eponymous passing game - quick combinations and team play are the key to success.

One special feature is the presentation: NBA Give 'N Go shows the action from an unusual vertical perspective, similar to TV broadcasts. This makes for a dynamic gaming experience that clearly stands out from other SNES basketball games. Intermediate sequences during dunks or blocks further emphasize the arcade character.

In addition to single games, NBA Give 'N Go offers various modes, including a tournament, a complete NBA season and multiplayer duels for up to two players. Thanks to the official license, legends such as Michael Jordan (not included as separate rights), Hakeem Olajuwon, Scottie Pippen or Patrick Ewing compete with their real teams.

Graphically, NBA Give 'N Go impresses with large, detailed sprites, fluid animations and an energetic atmosphere. The soundtrack is also typical Konami - driving and matching the fast pace of the game.

NBA Give 'N Go is an entertaining arcade basketball game that primarily appeals to fans of fast, uncomplicated sports action. For SNES basketball fans who place less emphasis on realism and more on speed and fun, it is still a real insider tip today.
