That moment when you're picking your team and the computer starts eyeing your favorite player... we’ve all been there!

Today we’re doing a deep dive into Epyx’s 1987 classic, Street Sports Basketball, running on real Commodore 64 hardware. From the tension of the coin flip to Ralph missing every open layup, this game perfectly captured the vibe of neighborhood street ball.

In this video:

Loading from the original 1541 disk drive.

The high-stakes team draft.

Gameplay in the alleyway (watch out for the oil slicks!).

Why Butch was an absolute beast at the rim.

Did you have a go-to first-round pick in Street Sports? Or were you stuck with Ralph? Let’s settle it in the comments!

👇 ABOUT FLOPPY DEEP DIVE 👇

Hey, it's Tom from Texas! Floppy Deep Dive is dedicated to Real Hardware and Real Nostalgia. No emulators. No filters. Just the crackle of the CRT and the mechanical grind of the disk drive.

I make these videos for the folks who spent Saturdays swapping floppies and still get chills when the SID chip kicks in. We dive deep into the Golden Age of PC gaming, reignite the classic 8-bit wars (C64 vs Atari!), and hunt down the rarest software on earth. Whether you're Team Commodore, Team Atari, or just miss the 90s, you're in the right place.

The Mission: Preserving the sights, sounds, and "craptacular" quirks of classic computing before they fade away.

🕹️ What You'll Find Here:

The Hardware: Commodore 64, Atari 800XL, Amiga, 486 PCs, and more.

The Wars: C64 vs Atari/NES comparisons (Let the debate begin!).

The Hunt: Deep dives into mysterious floppies and forgotten games.
