In the spirit of the Atari 7800 game One-onOne Basketball with Larry Bird vs Julius "Dr. J" Erving, programmer Edward A. Smith set out to program a better basketball game for the Atari 2600.

The final product is 1vs1: Three-Point Play (aka 1vs1 Basketball) with three games built in! The label and manual were designed and created by Michael Thomasson of Good Deal Games. All cartridges are manufactured and currently sold by Good Deal Games: Homebrew Heaven. This title was officially released at the 2019 Portland Retro Gaming Expo and is sold for $24.75 (cartridge only) with only 25 copies ever made. The three games that are available in 1vs1 Three-Point Play are:

1. One Vs. One Basketball Score 2 points or 3 points for baskets and 1 point for being fouled after the second time. The game will end when the first player scores 21 points.

2. Horse The first player shoots from any spot. If a shot is made, the second player must make the same shot or earn "H". As long as player one continues to make shots, player two must follow suit or else earn additional letters O,R,S,E. Once player 1 misses a shot, then player two has control until he or she misses, and player one must make the shot made by player 2 or else earn letters. Players must self-police shots and move to correct positions and keep track of who has control and whose shot it is.

3. Around the World This game is self-policing. Players must keep track of their shots, move to correct positions, and remember whose turn it is! This game is packed with far more than what would have ever been thought possible on the Atari 2600. Compare the new 1vs1 to Atari's own 1978 original Basketball, and be blown away by the difference. This new rendition is programmed from the ground up and utilizes 16k to bring you a realistic basketball experience and should be considered as Atari's "RealSports Basketball"!
