One on One - Julius Erving and Larry B
Alternative title: Julius Erving and Larry Bird Go One on One
Platform: Commodore 64
Gametype: Undefined
_________________________

Control either Julius Erving or Larry Bird in front of a single basket, in a game of one on one. The user can select to play either to a certain score or for a certain amount of time. When on offense, the player can rotate to keep away from his rival, take a shot from a distance or move in to the basket for special up-close slam-dunks. When on defense, you can try to take your rival's ball or jump up to block a shot. Particularly good set-ups get a slow-motion replay. You can even smash the glass on the backboard, which will send an irate janitor onto the court to clean up the mess.

Trivia
In reference to the C64 version, the PC copy protection was similarly legendary--96 sector headers on track 15 took a long time to figure out and duplicate.

Description from the packaging:

Roundball and the stuff of dreams.
1. Take the two best players in basketball today. Interview them. Photograph them in action. Study their moves. Study their stats. Study their styles.
2. Then, with their help, bit by bit craft a scenario on computer disc. Create in the machine an event which may never happen in real life. Put the two together on a dream court for an electronic afternoon of one-on-one.

3. Make it real, sure- with fatigue factors, hot and cold streaks, fouls, a shot clock. But maybe throw in a little whimsy too- a funny referee, a shattering backboard, even instant replay.
4. The name of the game is One-on-One. You're Bird, or you're The Doctor. And that's the last decision you'll have plenty of time to make.
