TV Basketball seems to be a 4-player version of the [Taito Basketball arcade game](/software/basketball-692/) released earlier (?) the same year (1974).
|
|
|
|
Basically, it's a pong variant where each player control two players (defenser and forward) or one player (4 player option) using the 4 knobs on the control panel.
|
|
|
|
The ball reacts as a normal pong game, but the the only way to score is to direct the ball into the basketball goals (from the top).
|
|
|
|
The gameplay is time limited. The timer is displayed at the top of the screen.
|
|
|
|
Each goal score 2 points.
