Welcome to the open source, cross-platform retro re-release of one of the first text-based college basketball simulations.

Once highly sought after by sports fans in the DOS days, this version has been revived from the original source code and processed by a modern compiler for speed to match today's computers.

Relive your favorite season or era of college basketball, without all the physical exhaustion of having to play yourself.
