Realsports Basketball

[phuzaxeman]

I have the demo or unfinished version.  The graphics of the game is really good.  The gameplay seems to be fun despite the game not completed.  I heard the developer passed away and never finished the game.  On Atari Age, it mentions there are 2 versions.

 

Anyone else have more info about this cool title?  I'm a fan of the Real Sports series, especially Baseball and Football.   Would be cool to see this one complete.

I am in possession of the final version of the game that I obtained years ago from the original programmers family. He did finish the game before Atari laid him off.  The final version has a date of December 1983.  The ROM file is available here on AtariAge:https://atariage.com/software_page.php?SoftwareID=2243

 

The artwork for the box was featured in the book “The Art of Atari”.

I downloaded the basketball game before and there are some issues like it doesn't allow for you to score.  There are other things missing so it's not complete.
