Gameplay

Step onto the court in Arch Rivals, a fast-paced two-player basketball arcade game from Bally Midway released in 1989. Customize your team’s colors and names before competing across four intense quarters, each lasting four minutes. Players control individual characters, passing to teammates or taking shots as they attempt to outscore their opponent and secure victory. Should the score remain tied after regulation play, a one-minute sudden death overtime period is initiated; the next basket scored wins the game. Eight distinct athletes are available for selection, each possessing unique attributes that can influence gameplay strategies and team dynamics. Arch Rivals delivers straightforward arcade basketball action with a competitive edge, making it an engaging experience for players seeking quick, head-to-head challenges.
