URL ftp.nvg.unit.no:/pub/sinclair/snaps/games/sports/baskmast.zip /unsorted/fmartin.zip GENERAL FACTS The game was originally developed by a guy whose name has been lost forever. Dinamic saw the product and liked it, but decided to change some things, thus buying the source code. Then they realized the code wouldn't admit such changes, and they rewrote the code, even changing the graphics. As they had also hired the announces and spend the money in advertising, the making of the game became a race aginst time. But even with this in mind, the game in superb. In the terraces there are a lot of other personalities of Dinamic. Fernando Martin was the first spanish basket player in the NBA of USA. He died in a car accident in 1991. NOTES The smile of Fernando Martin in the loading screen should make you think twice and forget all your hope to beat him.
