Fast Break is a retro basketball sports game originally developed by Accolade and re‑released on modern Windows through Steam/DOSBox. In this fast‑paced court action title, you control a three‑on‑three team (guard, center, forward) and can play against the AI or a friend locally. It blends arcade feel with strategic playcalling — including offensive and defensive schemes — giving both casual and competitive players something to enjoy. The game’s animations and basketball action were advanced for its time and still feel fun with its old‑school charm.
