Lakers versus Celtics and the NBA Playoffs

Lakers vs. Celtics on Genesis is an update of the game of the same name for PCs. It features the same perspective, same action-oriented gameplay with an emphasis on offense, and the same game modes: exhibition games and the playoff tournament mode.

It features ten NBA teams from the ’89-’90 season. Compared to the PC version, it also adds more signature moves, different home- and away-jerseys, animated coaches, TV-style scenes from other games in the halftime show, player portraits for the starting five, voice samples for the referee and counts the number of personal fouls a players has committed, making it possible for them to foul out.
