Premise: It's time for the NBA Playoffs, and only the best will make it all the way to the final game. A series of basketball sims highlighting the teams playing in the NBA post-season tournament for a given year.
Impressions: Pretty standard basketball sim in the same mold as Double Dribble, but with superior sound and graphics.
Variations: Lakers vs. Celtics (1990)
Bulls vs. Lakers (1991, features an expanded NBA 1991 tournament schedule and the 1991 All-Star Team)
Team USA Basketball (1992) uses the NBA Playoffs game engine - see separate entry for more info
Bulls vs. Blazers (1993, has all 16 1992 NBA playoff teams plus the All Star teams, as well as the signature moves for certain well-known players)
NBA Showdown 94 (1994, one more outing for this aging basketball sim, great sound and gameplay, somewhat better-looking player sprites)
