This game and the OG Planetside both taught me the simple joys of fighting for/on a bridge.
You can have a huge overworld, you can have an intricate map with all the lanes and passageways you want, but, in the end, the (much, much older) children yearn for the bridge.
Hm. The basketball and soccer look a lot like the Tiny Toons sports game they had on the Sega Genesis back in the day.
