------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------[ Pat Riley Basketball ]----------------------------- ----------------------------[by Ice Queen Zero]-------------------------------- ---------------------------[ Sega Master System ]------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o---------------------o INTRODUCTION o---------------------o I was originally going to say, rather than add a basketball player's name to a basketball title such as Michael Jordan or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, they decided to add a coach name Pat Riley. Pat Riley was a player himself before being a coach but the game however is still based on him being a coach. The same would have applied to one of his coaching "sons" Phil Jackson if he ever had a basketball game named after him. Pat Riley Basketball was released only on Genesis and it was going to be on the Sega Master System but it got cancelled. It more than likely would've known as Super Real Basketball overseas like it's Sega Genesis counterpart. o---------------------o DISCLAIMER o---------------------o Pat Riley Basketball is a trademark of Sega and all copyrights belong to them.

Button 1 = On offense, hold to jump up with the ball, press again to shoot. Button 2 = Pass the ball on Offense/Change defender on defense o---------------------o TEAMS o---------------------o There are 8 teams to choose from. They are not based off of any NBA teams. They hail from a city with unique names altogether. LA Hoops Detroit Jets Dallas Wings Denver Jammers Seattle Bears Boston Bashers Houston Rebels New York Busters -No matter what team you pick, player 1 will always be clad in green, player 2 or the CPU will always be clad in red. Such is not the case in the Genesis port of the game where they get their own colors. o---------------------o GAMEPLAY o---------------------o At the start you will choose to have a 1 or 2 player game or let the computer go at it on both sides (Demo). Choose the level of difficulty (Easy, Normal, Hard), then the length of each quarter (2 min, 5 min, 12 min, 15 min). Finally select your team and the opponent you want to face in a 1-player game. From there, you can choose to substitute players on the bench either now or between quarters. -There are 4 quarters each game. The winner is the one with the most points once the time runs out at the end of the 4th quarter. If the score is tied, then the game will go into overtime each time the game is tied at the end until a clear winner is determined. -Each shot is worth 2 points within the 3-point line. Behind the arc is worth 3 points. -You will get a cutscene of the player attempting to dunk. Press the Shooting button at the appropiate time to make it. -You will also get a cutscene if you shoot a 3-pointer close to the line. The camera pans to the shot above the rim to see whether or not it goes in. -A few feet further and the cutscene will not happen. You can actually shoot the ball far behind half-court to try to make a last minute desperation shot. Rules are as follows: -Traveling is called when a player fails to release the ball in the air before touching the ground. You must be facing the hoop in order to properly release the ball. -Failure to inbound the ball in 5 seconds results in a 5 sec violation. -Nowadays, you have to cross center court within 8 seconds but during these days you had 10 seconds to cross or it would be a 10 sec violation. -After crossing half court, you cannot cross back or it will result in a back- court violation. -Each team has 24 sec to shoot the ball or it will result in a shot clock vio- lation. -If a person gets fouled, he'll take 2 free throws. Release the ball from within the red area. -Subtitutions are made during stoppage of play via foul or traveling by pressing button 2. -At the end of the game, press 1 to go back to the title screen and press 2 to view the game stats. o---------------------o CREDITS o---------------------o Sega for making this game.
