NAME:             NBA Playoffs series (4 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Electronic Arts
RELEASED:         1991
TYPE:             Sports (basketball)
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          It's time for the NBA Playoffs, and only the best will
                  make it all the way to the final game.  A series of
                  basketball sims highlighting the teams playing in the
                  NBA post-season tournament for a given year.

IMPRESSIONS:      Pretty standard basketball sim in the same mold as
                  Double Dribble, but with superior sound and graphics.

VARIATIONS:       Lakers vs. Celtics (1990, features an expanded NBA
                    1990 tournament schedule and the 1990 All-Star Team)
                  Bulls vs. Lakers (1991, features an expanded NBA
                    1991 tournament schedule and the 1991 All-Star Team)
                  Team USA Basketball (1992) uses the NBA Playoffs game
                    engine - see separate entry for more info
                  Bulls vs. Blazers (1993, has all 16 1992 NBA playoff
                    teams plus the All Star teams, as well as the
                    signature moves for certain well-known players)
                  NBA Showdown 94 (1994, one more outing for this aging
                    basketball sim, great sound and gameplay, somewhat
                    better-looking player sprites)

The Lakers vs Celtics series was the first basketball games I can remember where the players actually looked like actual NBA players (not a bunch of look-alike drones like in other games). In the early series of the game, only teams that made 2nd round in the playoffs were included. Even though I don't care for the gameplay, it was still cool being able to play as your favorite team!
