Dr. J and Larry Bird Go One on One, more commonly known as One on One, is a 1983 computer sports game for the early era of home computers. It was developed and published by Electronic Arts (EA).
In this basketball game, the player can assume the role of either basketball great Julius Irving or Larry Bird in a game of one-on-one against another player of the computer. The game allows for play to a certain score or timed games. The game allowed a number of moves used to trick or fake out other players. The animation was surprisingly good for the era, despite being limited to just two characters.
One popular feature of the game allowed the player to shatter the backboard, prompting a janitor to come out and sweep up the shards.
A highly lucrative title for EA, One on One originated on the Apple II, but was ported to the Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari 7800 and as a PC booter.
