Product Overview
Retro Arcade Electronic: Basketball brings arcade-style shootout action to the tabletop with a 2-player timed competition. The large LED scoreboard displays HOME and GUEST scores alongside a 60-second countdown timer, while stadium sound effects ramp up the excitement as players race to sink as many baskets as possible. Each basket scores 2 points, but when the alarm sounds for the final 15 seconds, scoring increases to 3 points per basket. The smooth spring-powered basketball launcher allows for rapid shooting action, and setup is quick: turn it on, press the button, and play begins.
