just searching through ebay and came across these two games, I have always been interested in picking these titles up but I haven't seen any reviews?..

Is Dunk Dreams like NBA JAM on the MD, where you can do mental moves?...

Soccer Brawl was one of the first carts I bought, and it's a blast to play, the game is fast and good for 2P as well. Once you get the hang of it, you will always come back for more. Just a great game, and it's not expensive.

As for Dunk Dream/Street Hoop, well, it's a nice basketball game, but not very deep, tho the similarity to the NBA Jam-series (Genesis, 32X, Mega CD, PSX, etc.) provides some cool features, like mega dunks and insanely high jumps. If you don't expect a full-blown simulation and could forget the quite dull graphics, it may be worth a try.

Soccer Brawl is a must have for the cheap price it's going for IMO. Great fun, but it's way to easy to score cheap goals so be sure to have a 2nd player =)

Street Hoops is a great game to. It's not really that simple, you can learn to do alley oops, fake shots and alot of cool stuff.

Both of these games are best i 2P mode thought.

Soccer Brawl is no Metal Slug, but it is a heck of alot different from the average neo geo game. Great game for the low price.

I'm still looking to get Dunk Dreams :(

I haven't really played Soccer Brawl but Street Hoop is a blast. The music is incerdible and it's better than NBA JAM. Think of it as the 2D version of NBA Street, as it's 3 on 3 street ball. An excellent game and I'm not even a basketball fan.

I like Dunk Dreams myself, but be warned that the computer AI can be cheap at times. There are times when it seems that every three point attempt, no matter where on the court. Definitely not good when you're in a close game and the computer lets loose with a desperation shot from the other end of the court only to have it go in 75% of the time! :mad:

Dunk Dream is a must have while Soccer Browl I think is quite mediocre nowadays, it has aged very badly, I cannot get into it, it has a quite bad game play. I think that this game is very overrated.

"Magic on the blacktop"

DUNK DREAMS Rocks. buttrock

My second favorite neo soundtrack as well. Highly recommended :)

I can't really get into soccer brawl however, maybe I need to pull it off the shelf and give it another shot.

If memory serves me right, Lucky Glauber is in Dunk Dreams. For that reason alone, you should get it.
