Dunk Star[a] is an unreleased 1991 basketball arcade video game that was in development and planned to be published by Sammy for the Neo Geo MVS (arcade) and Neo Geo AES (home).[2][3][4] Had it been launched before Street Slam, it would have become the first basketball title for the Neo Geo platforms.[5][6] Featuring arcade-style gameplay, players compete with either AI-controlled opponents or against other players in versus matches on the game. Although previewed across a few video game magazines, in addition to being showcased to attendees at various trade shows, the title was ultimately shelved for unknown reasons.

Gameplay

History

Dunk Star would have served as the first basketball title to be released for the Neo Geo platform.

Dunk Star was the first project to be developed by Sammy for the Neo Geo and would have been the first basketball release for the platforms.[3][5][6] Although its production number during development remains unknown, it is generally believed to be assigned with the number 28.[5][7][8][9] The game was first showcased publicly in a playable state to attendees of the Summer Consumer Electronics Show on June 1991 at SNK's booth alongside other then-upcoming titles for the Neo Geo such as Blue's Journey by Alpha Denshi and Legend of Success Joe by Wave Corporation, among others displayed at the showfloor.[4][5][8] The title was also showcased at both the Amusement & Music Operators Association Show (AMOA) and Amusement Machine Show events held on September and October of the same year respectively.[5][8][10][11]
