Reception

GBA was Activision's second best-selling Commodore game as of late 1987.[3] Computer Gaming World praised the Commodore 64 version of GBA for improving on One on One: Dr. J vs. Larry Bird by adding a full court, teammate, and league play.[4] The Apple IIGS version of the game was reviewed in 1988 in Dragon #129 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column. The reviewers gave the game 4 out of 5 stars.[5] Compute! called the Apple IIGS version "a delightful game whether you're playing or just watching", praising the graphics and sound.[6]

gollark: Anyway, regardless of assignment of blame, your protestations mean nothing as I am busy.
gollark: Well, any Turing machine can simulate any other Turing machine, and ABR doesn't use hypercomputation or Turing oracles, and we're ignoring memory limits, so yes you can.
gollark: Maybe on the weekend.
gollark: I have not added it because it would be annoying to test.
