A good-looking Genesis basketball game with no NBA license, and one of the cheaper US carts.
David Robinson's Supreme Court is a basketball game developed by Acme Interactive and published by Sega, and it was made only for the Genesis. It carries David Robinson's endorsement but not an NBA license, so you play four fictional American teams. It came out in Japan on 10 July 1992, in Europe in July 1992 and in North America in 1992.
Electronic Games said it relies on its audio-visual strengths, with smoothly digitized graphics and 24 different shots. Video Games & Computer Entertainment described it as an angled top-down game with some of the best sounds and graphics of any basketball simulation.

“The gameplay flaws mean that anyone other than a basketball freak might get fed up.”
“A fairly decent isometrical 3D scrolling basketball game with polished graphics and sound, Supreme Court Basketball is let down by a real lack of excite ment and problems with the logic of your other players. Take a look at Bulls vs Lakers.”
“Good graphics and strikes the right balance between realism and fast arcade action. The way the court flips round as you cross the half-way line takes a bit of getting used to. Real basketball fans my prefer something more simulationy, like Bulls vs Lakers.”
“Gamers may feel disoriented, though, when a player crosses the half-court line and the court momentarily fades to display the other half.”
Before you buy
Among US carts it sits below the middle. The European cart usually costs about the same as the US one. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
