EN THE TWO.FORMATS... IF YOU HAVE AN IBM AND A.COMMODORE YOU NEED BIG BLUE RE ADER..IT'S THE ONLY PROGRAM THAT DOES WH AT.IT DOES...--------------------------- ----------.. JORDAN VS BIRD - ONE O N ONE.. REVIEWED BY FENDER TUCKER. . AS I'M WRITING THIS, THE NCAA.PLAYO FFS ARE GOING ON AND I WILL HAVE.TO RESI ST THE URGE TO COMPARE COLLEGE.AND NBA P LAY. I WAS THE LOGICAL.PERSON HERE AT L OADSTAR TO REVIEW.THIS PROGRAM SINCE I A M THE ONLY.SPORTS FAN, BUT THEN AGAIN I' M THE.LOUSIEST JOYSTICKER... JORDAN V S BIRD IS THE LATEST.BASKETBALL SIMULATI ON FROM ELECTRONIC.ARTS. THEIR PREVIOUS PROGRAM WAS.BIRD VS DR. J, BUT JULIUS E RVING.RETIRED AND NOW MICHAEL JORDAN IS THE.SLAM DUNK KING.. THE PROGRAM OPEN S UP WITH A NICE.TITLE SCREEN AND GREAT MUSIC, THEN.GOES TO AN OPTIONS SCREEN. NOTHING.FLASHY HERE BUT I THINK THE OPTI ONS.SCREEN IS ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES.. IT MUST HAVE BEEN TEMPTING TO DIVIDE.UP ALL OF THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO.THE USER INTO LOGICAL SCREENS BUT EA.WISELY KEPT EVERYTHING TOGETHER SO.THAT A USER CAN SEE EXACTLY WHAT HE'S.CHOOSING BEFORE GO ING TO THE GAME.PLAY... SINCE THE GAM E IS 100% JOYSTICK-.ORIENTED THE OPTION SCREEN USES THE.JOYSTICK TOO. THIS MAKE S SENSE. I.WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED AT FIR ST.BECAUSE UPON BOOT-UP JOYSTICK #1 IS.T HE OPERATIVE ONE.. THERE ARE ACTUALLY THREE GAMES IN.ONE IN JORDAN VS BIRD -- ONE ON ONE.(FOR TWO PLAYERS OR ONE AGAI NST THE.COMPUTER), A SLAM DUNK CONTEST A ND A.THREE-POINT CONTEST. THE ONE ON ON E.GAME IS THE MOST INTERESTING SINCE IT. REALLY SHOWS OFF THE EXCELLENT SPRITE.MO VEMENT ALGORITHMS THE PROGRAM USES... HERE ARE SOME OF THE OPTIONS.AVAILABLE FOR THE ONE ON ONE GAME...FOUR LEVELS OF DIFFICULTY..FOUR QUARTER LENGTHS (TIMEW ISE).FOULS (YES OR NO).WINNERS/LOSERS OU T.CLEAR THE BALL (YES OR NO).STATISTICS (YES OR NO).SHOT CLOCK (YES OR NO).. THE SLAM DUNK CONTEST (WHICH, IN.MY OPIN ION, IS ONE OF THE STUPIDEST.INVENTIONS OF THE 20TH CENTURY, ALONG.WITH SYNCHRON IZED SWIMMING AND.AEROBICS) GIVES YOU A CHOICE OF TEN.DUNKS, ALL OF WHICH SCORE TWO POINTS,.THE SAME SCORE AWARDED TO AN Y OTHER.SHOT WITHIN 23 FEET OF THE BASKE T..THE FACT THAT A SLAM DUNK CAN EXCITE A.CROWD SAYS MORE ABOUT THE GULLIBILITY. OF CROWDS THAN ABOUT THE EXPERTISE OF.BA SKETBALL PLAYERS... THE THREE-POINT C ONTEST IS MAINLY.AN EXERCISE IN TIMING. IF YOU CAN GET.THE RHYTHM DOWN, YOU CAN GET A HIGH.SCORE... I DIDN'T REALLY ENJOY EITHER OF.THE TWO CONTESTS BUT THE FACT THAT.THEY FOLLOW THE FORMAT OF THE REAL.CONTESTS HELD AT THE NBA ALL-STAR. GAME IS A PLUS FOR THE PROGRAM... THE DESIGNERS OBVIOUSLY SPENT A.LOT OF TIME ADDING THINGS FOR THE.PLAYERS TO DO WIT H THEIR SPRITE GUYS.ON THE SCREEN. THE SPRITES CAN.SHUFFLE/RUN, TURNAROUND, FAK E A JUMP.SHOT, DO A JAB STEP IN EITHER.D IRECTION, FINGER ROLL, REBOUND,.STEAL AN D BLOCK A SHOT. THE FACT THAT.ALL OF TH ESE MANEUVERS ARE SELECTED.BY A SUBTLE M OVEMENT OF A JOYSTICK OR.A FIREBUTTON IS MIRACULOUS AND WORTHY.OF COMMENDATION, BUT IT'S ALSO VERY.FRUSTRATING... I'D LIKE TO HAVE A BUTTON THAT.MAKES MY GUY SHOOT, NO MATTER WHAT.ELSE IS GOING ON. I IMAGINE THAT.GOOD JOYSTICKERS, ONCE OVER THE.LEARNING HUMP, WILL LIKE HAVING ALL.OF THE MOVES CONTROLLED BY A SINGLE .STICK AND BUTTON, BUT I DIDN'T. I'VE.N EVER FOUND A JOYSTICK YET THAT I CAN.CON FIDENTLY PUSH IN A DIAGONAL.DIRECTION AN D HAVE IT REGISTER.CORRECTLY EVERY TIME. IN THIS GAME.THE JOYSTICK MOVEMENT IS VERY.CRITICAL... ALL IN ALL, ELECTRON IC ARTS.DESERVES A PAT ON THE BACK FOR.S IMULATING ONE ON ONE BASKETBALL SO.WELL. .. THE SLAM DUNK AND THREE POINT.CONT ESTS ARE SUPERFLUOUS, BUT ARE.NICE DIVER SIONS. THE MAIN THRUST IS.THE ONE ON ON E GAME BETWEEN TWO.PLAYERS OR ONE AGAINS T THE COMPUTER.AND IT IS VERY GOOD... JORDAN VS BIRD, WHICH SELLS FOR.$20 TO $30, IS A WORTHWHILE PURCHASE.FOR ANYONE WHO LIKES BASKETBALL AND.JOYSTICKING. IT WON'T TAKE THE PLACE.OF A CELTICS-LAK ERS GAME ON TV BUT I.DOUBT IF THOSE GUYS WILL BE PLAYING.EACH OTHER AGAIN THIS Y EAR...UNLESS.LARRY COMES BACK WITH A VEN GEANCE... **** END OF TEXT ****.
