Game Review

One on One, also known as Dr. J and Larry Bird Go One on One, is a basketball simulation developed by Eric Hammond and published by Electronic Arts initially in 1983 for the Apple II and Atari 8-bit. One year later it was ported to Commodore 64, where it became a huge success: the best selling game of Electronic Arts and the second best selling game for the Commodore computer.

The incredibly realistic animations of the basketball players, which were able to perform several moves in defense or attack, were something completely new for the time. The scene were Larry or Dr. J were smashing the glass on the backboard, and the janitor cleaning up the mess, is still in the memories of many gamers.

GamesNostalgia offers the Amiga version, released in 1985, with a better graphics but the same gameplay of the C64 version.
