Synopsis
Basketball is a 1978 basketball video game programmed by Alan Miller and published by Atari, Inc. for the Atari Video Computer System (later renamed the Atari 2600). The cartridge presents a game of one-on-one basketball and can be played by one or two players, one of the few early VCS titles to have a single-player mode with an AI-controlled opponent. Miller wrote a version of Basketball for Atari 8-bit computers with improved graphics, published in 1979. That same year, an arcade version similar to the computer port was released by Atari, but in black and white.
