Fast Break
A 1989 basketball sim that lets you call plays and design your own, but don't expect modern AI or deep season modes.
GamerScout Verdict
A quaint 1989 basketball sim with zero depth, museum piece only, not worth the time unless you collect retro sports games.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Fast Break
I picked up Fast Break expecting a retro curiosity, and that's exactly what it is. This is the original Accolade basketball game from 1989, ported forward to 2021 with minimal fanfare. You get 15 offensive and 5 defensive pro-style plays to call in real time, plus a play designer if you want to tinker with formations. The one-or-two player format means you can either control both teams or trade off with a friend. What kills it for a strategy-focused player like me: there's no season mode, no roster depth, no meaningful progression. The AI is basic, play execution is loose, and once you've cycled through the playbook a few times, there's little reason to stick around. It's a museum piece, not a game that respects your time investment. If you're curious about how basketball sims worked in 1989, it's a 15-minute novelty. Otherwise, skip it.
