Item Description
Two legends, one hoop, nowhere to hide. Jordan vs. Bird: One on One strips basketball down to its most personal matchup, Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls against Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics, the two biggest stars of the late eighties trading possessions with no teammates to bail them out. Electronic Arts' 1988 computer game was the follow-up to One on One: Dr. J vs. Larry Bird, and the NES version was built by Rare for Milton Bradley in 1989, with music by David Wise.
The main game offers full timed contests or a race to a target score, with a shot clock running and adjustable rules. Two players can go head to head at the same time, which is where the rivalry comes alive. The real draw is the pair of side events built around each star's signature strength. Jordan headlines a slam dunk contest with a whole repertoire of dunks, scored by a panel of judges, and releasing the ball from as far out as you dare is the secret to big numbers. Bird takes the three-point contest: sixty seconds, five racks, twenty-five balls, and the last ball on each rack worth double.
It is a simple game at heart, smooth-running and easy to pick up, and the two contests are tougher than they look. As a snapshot of the moment when Jordan's rise met Bird's prime, and as an early sports outing from the studio and composer who would later give the world Battletoads and Donkey Kong Country, it is a fun slice of NES basketball history.
