"Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball" released in 1991 by Hudson Soft, is a futuristic full-contact basketball video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Unlike in real basketball, players can fight each other on the court without the threat of personal or team fouls. Destructive items such as bombs frequently appear on the court; players can withstand an infinite amount of attacks in the game. The game often receives criticism for oversimplified controls, lack of injuries/destruction (like in "Mutant League Hockey" and "Mutant League Football"), and predictable AI. Bill Laimbeer, a now-retired basketball player licensed his name and image to this game at a point in his career when has notorious for his aggressive and physical play.
