Dunk Shot

Overview

Dunk Shot (ダンクショット) is a top-down basketball arcade game released for Sega System 16B hardware by Sega in 1987. It was licensed to Atari Games for release in the United States.

According to Atari, they sold 556 arcade cabinets in the United States for $2495 each. This adds up to arcade cabinet sales revenue of $1.4 million, or $3.01 million with 2014 inflation, in the United States.

Gameplay:

Dunk Shot is rendered in a top-down view where players can move in all directions using the track-ball controller, with the sprites enlarging to simulate bouncing balls and jumping characters, the latter of which is performed with the shoot/jump button. A mini map of the entire court is displayed where all moving characters can be tracked, mainly for being aware of off-screen characters' positions.

Rounds last a pre-determined amount of time (which can be adjusted in the test menu) and are won by whoever has the highest score when time runs out. In a one-player game or co-operative two-player game, the computer player team will start with a higher score than the human player team and the game scales difficulty by increasing this starting score by 2 each round.

During the coffee break scenes, characters from Pengo, Doki Doki Penguin Land, Quartet, Ninja Princess and Flicky can appear
