A few days ago, I had a chance to play Punk Shot, an arcade basketball game that puts Arch Rivals to shame. For starters, let’s read a description of the game:

Two-on-two basketball game for one to four people. Players can pass or shoot when they have the ball, or punch and kick when the opposition does.

That means that you either have the basketball, or you’re punching the hell out of the person that has the basketball. Just like real life!
As this is a four-player game, it quickly dissolves into a trash-talking, button-mashing fest, with fairly responsive controls and decent physics. What’s that mean?
That means it’s the best arcade basketball game that’s ever been created.

Not convinced? Read this:

There are two teams in the game: The Ramblers and The Slammers. Each team has two different characters: for The Ramblers, Basher and Stallion; and for The Slammers, Hair and Spike.

Yes. A player named Hair.

If you’re into the MAME thing, you owe it to yourself to give this game a try. Or find one of the three actual machines in existence. It’s up to you.
