About NBA All-Star Challenge

NBA All-Star Challenge is a basketball video game centered on one-on-one contests. Its roster draws from the 1991-1992 NBA season, offering a selection of twenty-seven athletes, each representing a different team. Prominent figures available include Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Karl Malone.

The experience is built around five distinct modes of play. These encompass a standard head-to-head match, a tournament format for one-on-one play, and three specialized skill competitions: free throw shooting, three-point shooting, and a game of H.O.R.S.E. Every activity supports participation by either a single player or two players.
