Jordan vs Bird was more popular on consoles, you might best remember it either on the Amiga or NES. This is really a piece of my early DOS gaming history and first EA game of that era. Back then I was a fan of Sierra games so this EA game was a rarity since I preferred the NHL Hockey series when the mid-90s arrived.

Back of the box with a fairly close example of how EGA graphics looked back in the late 80s and the computer requirements clearly listed.

Carefully look at the early DRM wheel card and the simple EA label on the floppy disk--paper & floppy disk didn't yellow too much from age. Didn't include the install manual as it just said "Make a backup copy of your game disk" then listed a usual install how-to or running it off a floppy. This game could be copied to a floppy and ran directly off a custom boot disk if you didn't have a HDD or lacked storage space. Oldest PC I tried this game on was a school Tandy greyscale laptop back in the early 90s, it actually ran quite smooth from a floppy drive. It was possible to play using a keyboard or two joysticks/gamepads. Back then I had a "Made in Canada" Gravis Gamepad which worked great for this, yes it still works if you're wondering

Stay tuned for another retro unboxing    (had to use a Thinkpad as a table cloth or wood desk kept making the text appear too blurry/washed out, if you're wondering its a T430--planning to switch to a Dell Precision pre-loaded with Ubuntu soon)
