Try Double Dribble. It's a bit old school, but still tons of fun!

Street Hoops should run just fine. Arch rivals is good too.

My favorite has alwaye been 'Double Dribble', by Konami. Extra points
in that it uses digitized (and highly stylized) video of Spud Webb and
'Nique Wilkins in the 1986 NBA All-Star Slam Dunk contest.

Atari Basketball rules! ;-)

Actually, Jump Shot is fun playing with two players. Reminds me of when I
used to play a lot of "One on One" basketball on the Commodore 64.

But as others have said, Arch Rivals will probably be your number one
choice on the hardware you have.

Run 'n' Gun
It's _the_ basketball arcade game.

Probably won't run that great on the Athlon 800Mhz, which is probably why no
one said it sooner.

Thanks for everyone's helpful suggestions. I tried them all and have
settled on Street Hoop as being the best for me. Pretty similar to NBA
Jam (though still not quite as good IMO).
