Gameplay

NCAA Basketball: Road to the Final Four is a college basketball simulation which includes all 64 teams that appeared in the 1991 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament. [2] [3]

Development

The game was in development for three years. [3]

Reception

Dennis Lynch from the Chicago Tribune stated: "Consequently, though it looks great, it soon becomes a bore. This is one basketball program that should be bounced. [2]

German magazine Power Play stated: "Basketball freaks should strike – those who want to become one should take a look – the extensive manual helps just fine. However, this program is not suitable for action athletes" [7]

The Albuquerque Journal said: "These are minor problems and can be corrected, but for a price tag of nearly $50 in most local stores, one has the right to expect a little more accuracy". [9]
