    Description

    "Step back in time with Arch Rivals, a pioneering basketball video game from the creative minds at Midway. Released in 1989, Arch Rivals was a game-changer, introducing a new style of play that would later inspire the famous NBA Jam series. This two-on-two full court basketball game breaks all the conventional rules, encouraging players to punch opponents and steal the ball. Choose from a variety of fictional teams and engage in a battle royale on the court. Experience unique on-court hazards like soda cans and candy wrappers, and use the 'flying leap' maneuver to steal the ball in style. With its retro charm and engaging gameplay, Arch Rivals is a must-play for fans of classic arcade games and sports enthusiasts alike.
