Arch Rivals is, more than any other game, the spiritual forebear to NBA
Jam. Players choose their team and player, then battle it out in a 2 on 2
matchup where shoving and punching is entirely legal. There was no
official license, and operators could customize the team names, including
local colleges and high schools with the "Hometown Heroes" upgrade kit.
The game is similar in style and spirit to Midway's other sports/action
hybrid from the same time period, Pigskin.
