Premise: Now you can play the ultimate Dream Team of Olympic Basketball - the first American squad to feature players from the NBA. The roster reads like a Who's Who of the sport: Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Carl Malone, John Stockton, Scottie Pippen, Chris Mullin, David Robinson, and Christian Laettner! Full-court 5-on-5 action with 15 of the best Olympic basketball teams from around the world. (Electronic Arts)
Impressions: The most popular of the early EA Sports Genesis basketball games for obvious reasons - sort of a "NBA Stomps the World" as I recall, just like they did in the Olympics during that first glorious appearance.
Variations: Also known as USA Basketball World Challenge.
Uses the NBA Playoffs game engine (see separate entry)
Recommended Emu: KGen 98
