Dream Team Basketball

This game was never completed and/or given a public release. As a result of this, keep in mind that the developers might have used or deleted some of the content featured here, had the game actually been released.

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

Dream Team Basketball was to be published by U.S. Gold, only to be cancelled soon after being acquired (and subsequently closed) by Eidos Interactive in April 1996.

A build dated June 18, 1996 was released by Hidden Palace as part of "Project Deluge". While the disc has "BETA 70%" written on it, the game is at a fairly early state with slow-paced gameplay, sluggish load times, minimal audio in the form of a few sound effects, and unfinished AI.
