NBA Live 95

This five-on-five basketball simulation marks the beginning of a long-running franchise. The action zips along at a quick rate of speed – it’s perhaps a bit faster than purists may like, but this pace lends itself to lots of offense. Shooting is executed through a simple button press, and players can choose to control the accuracy of their own shots by releasing the button at the height of jumps or allow the computer to complete the act instead.
