USA Pro Basketball is a five-on-five basketball game for the TurboGrafx-16, known as the PC Engine in Japan. It is the Japanese release of the game called Takin’ It to the Hoop in North America. Cartoon-style players handle the regular court action, while dunks and free throws switch to larger close-up scenes that put extra attention on the finish.

Gameplay
Choose a team and work the ball up the court with dribbling and passes. On offense, you control the ball carrier and look for room to shoot or drive toward the basket. On defense, switching between players helps you stay near the ball and challenge an opponent’s attack. High and low passes provide different ways to move possession, and defensive formations affect how your team covers the floor. Player statistics and remaining energy also influence performance, making the lineup part of the game’s strategy. Single matches, league play, and playoffs provide different lengths of competition. The close-up shooting sequences have their own timing, so reaching the basket is only part of completing a successful play. Keeping the ball moving helps create chances before the defense settles into position.
