Press A or B after the quarter statistics to continue. Keep button auto-repeat disabled.

Magic Johnson's Fast Break — About this game
Magic Johnson's Fast Break strips basketball down to two players on each side of a scrolling full court. In solo play, an arrow identifies the blue player you currently control; passing or switching on defense brings your teammate into the action. Games run for four quarters, with extra periods to settle a tie. Close-range attempts, three-pointers, rebounds and intercepted passes all shape the score, while the backcourt rule punishes careless retreats across halfway. Five computer difficulty settings offer different levels of opposition. A salary ranking rewards winning and performance rather than funding a team-building mode, keeping the emphasis on individual matches and improving your results.
