The last time the Harlem Globetrotters were in a video game was in 2006 when Harlem Globetrotters: World Tour debuted on Game Boy Advance, as well as a DS version in 2007. Two decades later, the iconic exhibition basketball team is making their video-game return in Super Basketball Classics Featuring the World-Famous Harlem Globetrotters, an upcoming title from Acclaim.

Unlike the Globetrotters’ last game, Super Basketball Classics will play up the team’s trick shots and showmanship flair. In other words, the alley-oops, the half-court bombs, and other cheat-code-style stunts are all part of the game. This arcade throwback title is part of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Globetrotters. It will feature a full-season mode and tournament options, as well as head-to-head co-op play and even the ability to join forces with other players as members of the same team.

“The Harlem Globetrotters are synonymous with basketball and entertainment,” said Acclaim’s CEO Alex Josef in a statement. “This game celebrates that spirit while honoring the classic arcade basketball experiences fans grew up loving while building a whole new generation of fans, for years to come. With tight controls, big personalities and instant pick-up-and-play action, Super Basketball Classics brings the Harlem Globetrotters legacy to gamers and sports fans around the world.”
