An arcade basketball game puts a hoop, a scoreboard and a ball return in a room with a low ceiling. Models differ in frame material, in how many shooters play at once, in how they display the score and in how small they fold.
The six games below range from a steel-frame machine for a basement game room to lighter plastic sets sold for children. Sizes, balls and scoring come from each product’s listing page. We have not used these games ourselves, and strength claims are the makers’ own.
