Cinemaware later re-released the game as freeware.
Gameplay
The game features five-a-side basketball matches. Players can either play against computer (controlling the players or a coach) or with another person (in versus or cooperative mode). When playing the human could choose to control the same player during the whole match or the one currently in possession of the ball.
The game shows a vertical view and has no NBA license. The in-game perspective is from half-court. When the ball crosses half-court, a short cutscene plays showing the players running to the other side of the court as the game transitions to the opposing basket.
Reception
Computer Gaming World said that TV Sports Basketball had good sound and graphics, and favorably noted its four-player option.
