ONE ON ONE
BY THOMAS COLLINS
---------------------------------------
BASKETBALL- A VERY FAST GROWING SPORT. THE GAME OF BASKETBALL HAS NOW
BEEN RE-INTRODUCED INTO THE COMPUTER GAME IN DUSTRY. WITH THE HELP OF
TWO BASKETBALL STARS, DR. J & LARRY BIRD; ELECTRONIC ARTS HAS OUTDONE
THEMSELVES AGAIN BY COMING OUT WITH THE NEWEST IN REAL-ACTION SPORTS
GAMES- ONE ON ONE. IN THE NEXT FEW PAGES I WILL TRY AND GI VE YOU AN
OVERVIEW OF THIS GAME AND SOME STRATAGIES AT PLAYING IT.
---------------------------------------
OBJECT- THE OBJECT OF COURSE IN ONE ON ONE IS TO MAKE MORE BASKETS
THAN YOUR OPPONENT, JUST LIKE IN ANY GAME OF BASKETBALL.
---------------------------------------
CONTROLS- THE CONTROLS USED IN ONE ON ONE ARE EITHER THE KEYBOARD OR
THE JOYSTICK. I HAVE FOUND THAT JOYSTICK IS MUCH EASIER TO USE. IF YOU
DO USE KEYBOARD YOU MAY CHANGE THE KEYS TO YOUR LIKING.
---------------------------------------
THE CHOICE PALET- AFTER THE GAME HAS BEEN RUN YOU WILL SEE A DEMO,
PRESS THE BUTTON OR <SPACE BAR> AND YOU WILL BE PROMPTED WITH THE
"CHOICE PALET" THIS IS WHERE YOU CUSTOMIZE YOUR GAME. YOU MAY FIRST
CHOOSE WHETHER YOU WISH TO HAVE THE WINNER (ONE WHO MAKES THE BASKET)
OR THE LOSER TAKE OUT THE BALL AFTER EACH SHOT. YOU MAY THEN CHOOSE
TWO-PLAYER OR ONE PLAYER. IF YOU CHOOSE ONE PLAYER YOU MUST DECIDE WHO
THE COMPUTER WILL PLAY (DR.J OR BIRD). IF YOU CHOOSE TWO PLAYER YOU
HAVE THE CHOICE OF PLAYING WITH TWO JOYSTICKS (IF YOU HAVE TWO
JOYSTICKS) OR DEFENSE ON KEYBOARD. (PLAYING WITH TWO JOYSTICKS IS, OR
COURSE, MUCH EASIER) SINCE MOST PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE TWO JOYSTICKS YOU
WILL HAVE TO CHOOSE THE KEYS YOU WISH AND PLAY THAT WAY. WHEN YOU DO
PLAY EVERY TIME THE BALL SWITCHES OVER TO THE OTHER PLAYER YOU MUST
SWITCH CONTROLS (ACTUALLY CHANGING HANDS). THAT CAN BECOME A REAL
DRAG.
THE NEXT THING YOU MUST CHOOSE IS WHAT TIME OF SKILL LEVEL YOU WISH TO
PLAY AT. THERE ARE FOUR:
LEVEL 1 (EASIEST) IS PARK & REC
LEVEL 2 (EASY) IS VARSITY
LEVEL 3 (MODERATE) IS COLLEGE
LEVEL 4 (VERY HARD) IS PRO
THE LAST THING YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE IS THE ACTUAL GAME PLAY, WHAT I MEAN
IS DO YOU WANT TO START A NEW GAME OR RESUME THE GAME YOU LAST WERE
PLAYING OR JUST GO TO A DEMO, USING YOUR CHOICES.
IF YOU DO FOLLOW THE BASKETBALL SCENE YOU WILL SEE FROM THIS GAME THAT
MANY OF THE PLAYERS' REGULAR SHOTS IN REAL LIFE ARE USED. FOR INSTANCE
IF YOU PLAY PRO, WITH YOU BEING THE BIRD, DR. J BLOCKS YOU LIKE CRAZY
WHEN HE'S ON DEFENSE. AND WHEN HE'S ON OFFENSE, HE'S HARD TO BLOCK.
---------------------------------------
PROPS-
DISPLAYS, OF COURSE, TIME REMAINING IN THE QUARTER, THE NUMBER OF
FOULS YOU HAVE (DISPLAYED AS DOTS UNDERNEATH EACH PLAYER'S NAME); AND
THE QUARTER YOU ARE IN.
THIS DISPLAYS THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOU HAVE LEFT TO SHOOT THE BALL. IF
YOU DON'T SHOOT BEFORE TIME IS UP, YOUR OPPONENT GETS THE BALL.
YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS AND SOMETIMES YOU CAN BREAK IT, BUT BETTER NOT,
OR YOU'LL GET YELLED AT.
- THERE IS EVEN A REFEREE THAT COMES OUT AND BLOWS A WHISTLE IF YOU
FOUL, AND THEN DISPLAYS YOUR FOUL. THEN YOUR OPPONENT USUALLY GETS ONE
OR TWO FREE-THROWS.
- ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN ARE TWO BARS OR ROWS OF DOTS WHICH
DISPLAY THE PLAYER'S FATIGUE (THE MORE THE FATIGUE THE WORSE HE
PLAYS). THE MORE YOU JUMP AROUND AND THE FANCIER SHOTS YOU MAKE, THE
MORE YOUR FATIGUE GOES UP.
---------------------------------------
SPECIAL COMMANDS:
IF YOU WANT TO GET RID OF ALL THAT FATIGUE YOU HAVE, JUST PRESS "T"
WHEN YOU HAVE THE BALL AND YOU WILL CALL A TIME OUT, BUT YOU CAN ONLY
CALL ONE PER QUARTER, AND YOUR OPPONENT ALSO GETS TO REST DURING THAT
TIME OUT, SO HIS FATIGUE GOES DOWN TOO. SO USE IT WISELY.
IF YOU WISH TO CHANGE THE CHOICES YOU MADE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
GAME JUST PRESS (CTRL-R) AND YOU WILL GO BACK TO THE CHOICE PALET.
AFTER YOU FINISH, YOU MAY "RESUME GAME".
IF YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING, JUST HIT THE <ESC> KEY AND THE GAME WILL
PAUSE UNTIL YOU TOUCH THE <SPACE-BAR>.
ANOTHER COMMAND THAT YOU MAY WISH TO USE IS THE <SHIFT-!> COMMAND. IF
YOU PRESS THIS YOU WILL PLAY IN SLOW MOTION. TO SWITCH BACK TO NORMAL
PLAY, JUST TYPE IT AGAIN.
---------------------------------------
WHILE PLAYING:
IF YOU GET THE BALL AFTER YOUR OPPONENT MISSED, MAKE SURE YOU COME
BACK AND CLEAR THE BALL, OR BRING THE BALL BEHIND THE CENTER LINE,
OTHERWISE YOUR POINT (IF YOU MAKE A SHOT) WILL NOT COUNT.
YOU MAY THINK THAT YOU CAN NOT BLO CK YOUR OPPONENT'S SHOTS, WELL,
LETS JUST SAY IT'S HARD.
WHILE YOU ARE PLAYING, ON OFFENSE YOU CAN PRESS BUTTON (0) JUST
SLIGHTLY AND YOU WILL SPIN TOWARD OR AWAY FROM YOUR OPPONENT. IF YOU
PRESS BUTTON (0) HARD OR LONG YOU WILL SHOOT THE BALL. (SPACE BAR FOR
KEYBOARD).
ON DEFENSE BUTTON (0) IS USED FOR:
A) JUMPING TO BLOCK A SHOT
B) TRYING TO STEAL THE BALL
WHEN YOU ARE "ON TOP OF" YOUR OPPONENT AND PRESSING THE BUTTON YOU
WILL BE TRYING TO STEAL THE BALL, OTHERWISE IF YOU ARE AWAY FROM YOUR
OPPONENT AND PRESS BUTTON (0) YOU WILL JUMP UP. (THE MORE FATIGUE YOU
HAVE THE LESS YOU CAN JUMP).
IF YOU GET THE BALL IF YOUR OPPONENT MISSES THE SARD, BUT IT CAN BE
DONE, A HINT IS TO TRY AND JUMP BEFORE HE DOES, OR DO IT AS SOON AS
YOU THINK HE MIGHT TRY AND SHOOT, OR YOU COULD TRY AND GO BACK FARTHER
AND WAIT UNTIL IT GETS NEAR THE BASKET AND TRY TO TIP IT OUT.
MOST PEOPLE ALREADY KNOW TXIS, FROM JUST KNOWING HOW TO PLAY
BASKETBALL, BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T, YOU CAN GET THREE POINTS,
INSTEAD OF TWO, IF YOU SHOOT THE BALL, AND MAKE IT, FROM THE BIG
HALF-CIRCLE ON THE OUTSIDE.
IMPLANTED IN THE GAME IS A MODE CALLED "HOT STREAK". IF YOUR PLAYER
MAKES THREE CONSECUTIVE SHOTS (IN) THE NEXT SHOT WILL AUTOMATICALLY GO
IN, FROM WHEREVER YOU ARE. THIS CAN BE HELPFUL IF YOU ARE ONLY BEHIND
BY ONE OR TWO POINTS. YOU COULD QUICKLY GO DOWN TO THE WIDE
HALF-CIRCLE ON THE OUTSIDE AND SHOOT, AND YOU'D KNOW IT WOULD GO IN.
THAT'S IT, HAVE FUN!
