TRIVIA

Beam Software's 16-Bit Sports Library:
Developed by Australian studio Beam Software—widely recognized for their versatile catalog of licensed NES and SNES titles—the game utilized a distinct vertical-scaling perspective for its 1-on-1 and 3-point contest mechanics.

LJN's Notorious Rainbow Logo:
Published under LJN's infamous rainbow banner, the title is part of a massive wave of multiplatform movie and sports adaptations released during the early 1990s home console boom.
