Game Details

Arch Rivals is, more than any other game, the spiritual forebear to NBA Jam. Players choose their team and player, then battle it out in a 2 on 2 matchup where shoving and punching is entirely legal. There was no official license, and operators could customize the team names, including local colleges and high schools with the "Hometown Heroes" upgrade kit. The game is similar in style and spirit to Midway's other sports/action hybrid from the same time period, Pigskin.
