Hoops is a sports video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), focusing on the game of basketball. Released in 1989 by Jaleco, it falls under the sports game genre. Hoops is a street-style basketball game that can be played one-on-one or two-on-two, featuring eight different characters each with unique strengths and weaknesses. The game's mechanics remain faithful to real-life basketball, with free throws, two-pointers, three-pointers, and aggressive blocks. The game doesn't use a traditional full-court view, but rather a half-court view. The game mixes arcade-style fun with elements of sports simulation.
