Lakers vs. Celtics Retrospective (RetrowareTV)

Mr. Retro Sports has posted a retrospective of the MS-DOS version of Lakers vs. Celtics and the NBA Playoffs, EA’s precursor to the NBA Live series, over at RetrowareTV. The article notes the game’s importance as the first NBA game to feature real teams and players, along with distinct player likenesses (at least by the standards of graphics at the time) and signature player moves.

It also observes that the game featured some considerably deep simulation elements for its era and offers some personal recollections of playing the game for the first time, all those years ago. If you grew up with Lakers vs. Celtics or are interested in learning a little about the history of basketball video games, it’s definitely worth checking out. You can also find more retrospectives and old school sports game content from Mr. Retro Sports over at Retro Sports Gamer World.
