I mentioned Basketball because it’s only 2K, so I figure the code for the timer must be fairly manageable. Or relatively manageable, anyway.

For games with on-screen timers, Basketball is an early title that comes to mind. Combat also has game timers, just not displayed on screen.

This super-80s-lookin' art is by Ladislau Braun per a 2017 tumblr post. If true, and if I found a legit LinkedIn, he's an illustrator/designer who attended a Bucharest art academy in the 1950s. chromeandlightning.tumblr.com/post/1597581... bsky.app/profile/atar...

The one game I attended this season. Absolutely electric atmosphere and a game to match, just as you wrote.
Happy New Year from a Masterman friend… 👋
