Perfect for large rec rooms and parties for the kids, the arcade-style Spalding 4020 dual electronic Pop-a-Shot basketball game will keep you entertained for hours. The Pop-a-Shot game--which includes six mini rubber basketballs and a pump--tests your shooting mettle against a 60-second electronic scoring system, with a dual score display and audio responses grading your progress. Users have their choice of opponents: you can play against your own best score (one-player mode) or face off against a friend in competitive battles (two-player mode). And as you progress, the game timer counts down in three different intervals, so you know how close you are to the buzzer. Made of durable powder-coated steel, the Pop-a-Shot measures 81 by 90 by 44 inches (W x H x D) and carries a one-year warranty.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
This basketball game is fantastic. It came together quickly, and comes with 6 basketballs for fast-paced competitions. The electronic scorer/count-down timer starts the players off with a tune, then counts down 5 to 0, and then a horn goes off for the shooting to begin--just like at an arcade. The horn goes off again for 30 seconds of 3-point scoring shots. The unit is sturdy enough to stand up to the boys, and the side netting does a good job of keeping the balls in play. Our entire family played on Christmas--especially the grandparents. The true test came when 4 7yr. olds came over for a play date and were immediately drawn to the basketball game over the Wii.
You'll need some space to set this game up; it fits in our (typical 2 car) garage, however the height of the backstop prevents the automatic sectional garage door from raising, so we unplugged the garage door opener to prevent any accidents.
