Oh, I thought the style looked familiar somehow. Developer Jorudan also did Baskelian.

Hm, not much to choose from in videos for that oneā€¦

I think the end part of the title is actually ā€œThe Basket: ~ 1 on 1 Plus ~.ā€ Thatā€™s what GameFAQs and Giant Bomb say, anyway. Until now I always thought it was ā€œPressā€ instead of ā€œPlusā€ā€“like ā€œpressingā€ on defense or something, I dunno. = P

I used to have this disc! I think I kind of liked the game. ^ _^

Jurodan had their own funky basketball game series going:

1998 - 1 on 1 (PS1, PS3 JP PSN)

1999 - 1 on 1 Government (arcade) - sequel to 1 on 1

2000 - Simple 1500 Series Vol. 30: The Basket - 1 on 1 Plus (PS1) - port of the arcade game

2003 - Baskelian (PS2)

The original 1 on 1 for PS1 is still available on the PS3 JP PSN store for about $4. I had just over that left on my JP PSN account, soā€¦guess Iā€™ll see how I like this prequel!

I remember a 3DO game that looked just like this called Slam 'n Jam '95 that looked just like this I had to check if it was the same game renamed for a different territory but I guess itā€™s just a knock off

A knock-off of the first Run and Gun (says Mobygames)ā€“SnJā€™95 was 1996 and Run and Gun II didnā€™t come out until '96. Slam 'n Jam looks pretty decent graphically in its own rightā€“a bit more attractive than Run and Gun, at first glance:

I was thinking about buying some arcade archives games on switch for portability, but at least for Xexex the audio channels/samples get all weird & out of sync, but seems like not on PS4. this never occured to me when I was having the issue with TGM2 on switch so I went and checked, but ps4 sounds the same on that one, maybe infinitesimally better butā€¦I wonder why nobody else complains about this. itā€™s really hit or miss with those guysā€¦

1 on 1 has the sorta rock/paper/scissors-as-action-buttons decision making approach to gameplay that 1 on 1 Plus hasā€“but way fewer characters, and itā€™s half-court rather than full court so if thereā€™s a steal, it resets to mid-court with the players reversed; also doesnā€™t have Plusā€™ 2-on-2 mode.

MobyGames credits 1 on 1ā€™s ā€œCharacter Design & Story Conceptā€ to Takehiko Inoue, the creator of manga series ā€œVagabondā€ and ā€œSlam Dunk.ā€ Man, I really liked the art in Vagabond.

Playing it as a downloadable game for PS3 through RPCS3 is a pretty terrible way to experience it, visually. ; D Super chunky and thereā€™s like, crazy interlace-style artifacting going on. But hey, $4, which I had left over in my JP PSN account. ^ _^

More stupid PS1 on PS3 stuff ; )

(And then I went on and splurged $4 more x2 on Konami Antiques MSX Vol.1 (for Antarctic Adventure OH which I was confusing with the sequel, Penguin Adventure, but thatā€™s okay (thatā€™s in Vol 3 which is NOT on PSN and is even more silly expensive on eBay, maybe because Kojima pitched ideas for it for a month at the start of his game career?)) and Sunsoft Vol.1 (Super Arabian)ā€“which are SUPER blurry in PS3/RPCS3. ; DDD But also kinda super-expensive on eBay, soā€¦hah?) (Arcade version of Arabian is of course in Arcade Archives for modern-ish consoles. The wider-screen PS1 version is kinda funky. Super Arabian and Antarctic Adventure are also on Famicom! But the Famicom sound at least for AA isnā€™t nearly as nice. Oh hm but PS1 Super Arabian is basically just a port of the Famicom version, which is super-cheap on eBay. Aha!)

I think the PS1 Simple Series game (May 2000) is a port of the arcade versionā€“which various sources such as GameFAQs (1999), Giant Bomb (1999), and Kotaku (Jan 31st 2000) date earlier; and Giant Bomb explicitly says the PS1 version is a later port of the arcade version https://www.giantbomb.com/1-on-1-government/3030-37284/

Also, the title screen for the PS1 versionā€™s 1-on-1 mode says ā€œ1 on 1 Governmentā€ in the background. ^ _^

Man, the move list for this game is pretty wild (lovely HTML FAQ, too):

Quarter circle moves! Itā€™s a doggone joystick game! = ooo

Trying to end the stupid long game buying spree Iā€™ve been on for months now but the sole US seller was in my state and had it with 10 other Simple 1500 Series games for under $30 shipped, for some crazy reason. Oh just take my money then. = ooo

This is the best looking sports sim Iā€™ve ever seen. I truly wish I had the knowledge of both baseball and Japanese so I could play it.

OH You can get an ISO (bin & cue) usable in DuckStation from a PS3 PS Store PS1 game using PSXtract2021: GitHub - Mr-Berzerk/PSXtract2021: This is a 2021 version of Hykem's PSXtract built to work on x64 Windows 10. I've also attempted to merge in as many forks of the original as possible. (cmd: psxtract -c eboot.pbp).

Edit: although thereā€™s a bug that it doesnā€™t extract additional tracks, so if a game is multi-track, you only get the first track. Not sure how many PS1 games are. I ran into it with Namco Museum Vol. 1 (from the JP store; it ainā€™t on the US store anymore as far as I can tell, thanks for not being clearly up to date on the US store Wikipedia : P); the tracks that donā€™t get dumped are audio tracks, apparently, so that doesnā€™t really matter since theyā€™re just for menu/museum modes or something as far as I can tell.

Edit again: updated version that converts additional CD audio tracks correctly: GitHub - has207/psxtract-2: Psxtract by Hykem
