Basketball Challenge is a computer game developed by the XOR Corporation in 1987 for IBM micros and compatibles.
The player is the coach of a basketball team, and determines the plays and sets, offense and defense. The basketball players are represented by numbers on the onscreen court, and the coach must learn how to effectively use the team's stars and how to obtain the best performance from the regular players. Basketball Challenge can be played by one or two players, or the computer can also play against a human opponent or run the entire game as both players.[1]
The game was reviewed in 1988 in Dragon #136 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column. The reviewers gave the game 3½ out of 5 stars.[1]
