Hi Vicman, I moved your request to a new topic, as the thread was intended only for posting the games.
Here's a rough translation of the instructions:
Two players only, joystick. Teams are marked with A and B, and take turns to control the attacker (yellow dot) against five defenders (purple dots) trying to stop him. The playing field is the square in the middle of the screen, and there's only one basket represented by the O at the top of it. When the attacker is orizontally, vertically or diagonally aligned with the basket, he can throw the ball (small dot) by hitting fire on the joystick.
The match is divided into two halves of three minutes each (effective play). Each attack turn takes 20 seconds, in which the player must score as much as possible, avoiding the defence. Other data on screen include score, time, first or second half, and a green sign indicating who's attacking. At the end of each turn, the game stops until the joystick is moved.

Thanks for the translation orion70, 8)

unfortunately the type-in seems to be buggy (and need a "re-type-in" or a fix)

- scoretable don't count forwards (when hitting the basket)
- the green sign is on both sides, so you don't know which player is attacking
- the five defenders are controlled by the computer, right ? -> 'cause i first thought defense will be controlled by player 2 via keyboard in some way...

I've made a clip on youtube, where you can see the "Bugs" :

maybe it's easy to fix the type-in. If yes -> please do it ;-)

Done. It was a matter of a couple of typos and a missing line. I tested it, and it should work as per instructions now.
