Sega's basketball game, a battery-backed and very inexpensive US cart.

NBA Action '95 Starring David Robinson was developed by Double Diamond Sports and published by Sega. It came out in North America in 1995 and in Europe on 21 April 1995.

It is a basketball game, and among US carts it is one of the cheapest.

What the press said at the time

“The almost overhead view is a neat feature, but the playability of the game is quite awful!”

— Electronic Gaming Monthly, June 1995

Before you buy

Among US carts it is one of the cheapest. The European cart usually costs much more than the US one, so the US cart is the cheaper buy. The game saves to a battery inside the cartridge, so check that a save holds; a replaced battery is a normal repair and not a sign of a fake. Sega Retro lists it as working with Sega's Team Player.
