NBA Showdown '94 (USA) (Beta)

First, you'll see a title screen followed by a menu where you can select teams and game options. Choose your team and opponent, then start the game. The core loop involves playing five-on-five basketball: you control one player at a time, passing, dribbling, and shooting to score points. The computer handles your teammates' movement, and you can switch players by pressing the appropriate button.

Defensively, you can block shots, steal the ball, and rebound. Pay attention to the shot clock and game clock. The D-Pad moves your player, and the action buttons let you pass, shoot, and perform special moves like alley-oops. Since this is a beta, some features might be incomplete or behave differently than the final version. Start a quick game to get a feel for the controls and timing.
