The captain of the home town basketball team is leading his team to win the All-American Championships. But then he had a strange dream, nightmare in fact, where he was playing basketball against all these strange creatures in exotic locations.
Basketball Nightmare is a basketball game where the player plays basketball against strange humanoid creatures on the court where they live. The player must play and defeat each creature before moving onto a new place with a new harder opponent. The player starts off playing against Wolfs in the Forest, then Frogs at the Pond, One Eyed Aliens at the Waterfall, Vampires in the Skeleton Cave, Geishas in the Bamboo Forest, before finally playing against Samurais at the Shrine. If the player loses a match, it can be replayed until won.
The gameplay is simple yet challenging. The player starts by trying to get the ball from a throw with a well-timed button press. Once they have the ball, they can move, pass, or jump. When jumping, the player can shoot with varying accuracy depending on the timing, or simply pass. Defending allows the player to cycle through the field or run into an opponent to challenge for the ball. Penalties such as travelling, charging, and pushing can occur, resulting in the other team gaining possession.
There are also two additional modes: CPU vs CPU and Versus Play. In both modes, the player can choose from eight nations represented by unique characters. The rules remain the same as single-player mode, allowing for competitive play against the CPU or a friend.
