Another video game created for Nintendo Entertainment System and released in 1990 by American Sammy.

The game is played just like a usual sports video game. The player may choose from the list of eight available teams and take control of five players on the team on the court. But only one player may be directly controlled at a time. In the Ultimate Basketball game there is choice between a ‘championship’ mode and a ‘single game’ mode. What makes the game unlike later sports-based video games is that it doesn't use real professional or college basketball players. The players that may be selected for the player’s team are entirely fictional, as well as their statistics.
