NBA Jam Super Famicom.

Please note: This game is for the Nintendo Super Famicom JAPAN Region or Region Free Mod Super Nintendo SNES!


Released amid a surge in the popularity of professional basketball during the early 1990s, NBA Jam rode the wave along with many other basketball video games. In spite of all the competition, it became a legend in its own time and is still remembered fondly today. Often sport-based games become obsolete a year after their release, but Midway shattered that perception with a dunk heard 'round the world.

No doubt one of its biggest selling points, its cutting edge graphics feature lifelike character animations while most other video games of the time generally look more like a cartoon. NBA Jam's designers drew its players to actually resemble what they looked like in real life, and although we take this for granted now on modern systems, the effect is still an impressive feat considering that it was accomplished on the Super Nintendo.

The soundtrack is also upbeat and catchy, while oftentimes sports games tend to either license popular music of the day with little regard to theme or consistency or feature generic midi music for lack of anything better. NBA Jam’s score is perfectly matched to the action and will have you humming along for days after a play session. Additionally, the commentary by the in-game sportscaster is perfectly suited to the gameplay and uses memorable catch phrases that are still quoted even now.

The gameplay is fast and furious. Sometimes even basketball can slow down with the application of a good defence, but NBA Jam moves at a constant breakneck speed. With only two players per team, the court is left wide open for the player possessing the ball, making for a very offence-friendly game. Matches play like a race to rack up the highest score (and pull off the more impressive stunts) rather than the slower, strategic grind that comes from having a full five-player team on each side.
