The Story Behind NBA Give 'n Go
NBA Give 'N Go is a 1995 Super Nintendo Entertainment System basketball video game that uses licensed teams from the National Basketball Association. The game is essentially a home version of Konami's arcade game Run and Gun, which featured similar graphics and gameplay but no NBA license. Konami followed up Give 'N Go with Run and Gun 2 and the NBA In The Zone series.
Localization and translation from Japanese to English were performed by veteran translator of Japanese television programs Jeremy Blaustein, while working in Tokyo as one of the staff members responsible for this game. During the early 1990s, Blaustein also translated other Konami Super Famicom games from Japanese to English. Passwords are used to save regular seasons in the American version while the Japanese version uses a battery save.
How NBA Give 'n Go Plays
A play-by-play announcer comments on the in-game action. All NBA players are evaluated on a scale of zero to three stars; with three stars being the highest rating. In addition to an arcade-style game, players can also customize in-game rules, or play a full-fledged simulation of professional basketball.
The shot always goes in as long as both dots are blue; otherwise the shot always misses. Free throw shots are simply a manner of trying to get two dots in the center as possible. Shaquille O'Neal & Charles Barkley are missing from the game's rosters.
