The ZCT Systems product is not a traditional simulation of basketball. The first thing that distinguishes this program from others is the fact that teams consisting of three players take part in the struggle and the duel takes place on only one half of the pitch (as in the street variant of this sport). Other rules of the game remained practically unchanged. The number of points scored is divided according to the place from which the ball was thrown, it is also possible to make a collection, but to shoot again, you first have to withdraw behind the line. After a successful offensive action and an accurate hit, the opposing team starts a further struggle from the centre of the pitch. The main hero of the game is, of course, Michael Jordan, who, after a given game, will be strong enough to comment on the situation. The other players play a marginal role, their names and silhouettes have been prepared only for the needs of this program and have no relation to reality. A player can take part in a fully fledged tournament that aims to defeat all opposing teams. Before starting the action, the player can choose one of four forms of attack, which will be implemented by the other players just after throwing the ball.

Michael Jordan in Flight made an incredible furore among sports games, mainly thanks to the three-dimensional pitch with rotating around the camera and digitized silhouettes of the players. An additional advantage is the ability to record plays from different views and play them through an easy to use menu. Although the ZCT Systems product is difficult to classify as a classic member of the genre, it is certainly a well-developed and thus a successful simulation of basketball.
