About this game

Three Point Basketball Deluxe focuses on a three-point shooting contest. There are five racks with five balls apiece: ordinary baskets score one point and the final ball at each rack is worth two, for a maximum of thirty. Higher skill levels narrow the aiming target, and an optional moving target adds another challenge.

Shooting uses the left mouse button in three stages. Press and hold to set distance, release to lock it and start the left-to-right aim bar, then click again to shoot. Practice explains this with a coach and gives you five attempts before entering the arena. The tournament also supports players taking turns on the same computer; it is not online multiplayer.

Dan Hilton created this 1993 MVP Software release and later made it freeware, as recorded by RGB Classic Games. This page preserves the original Deluxe package and instructions. Use a mouse for the timed press-release-click action. In tournament setup the game asks for local player names and a nickname; the original presentation can take a while before the first round.

Quick tips

Start with Practice to learn the distance and aim timing before a tournament.

Hold, release, then click: the first interval controls distance and the second controls horizontal aim.

Begin at skill 1 with a fixed target; switch to a moving target once your timing is consistent.
