Genesis

NBA Jam

Acclaim's gone for the slam dunk with NBA Jam and although it's not an exact translation of the arcade, it's still gonna score big with most fans of the classic coin-op. This one's more fun than an NBA contract.

Det har gjorts många både realistiska och knäppa varianter på basket, NBA Jam är det bästa. Det är inte perfekt, men en bra bit på väg.

For being the first basketball title to twist the boundaries by taking a break from the stagnant world of realism, NBA Jam found more fame than it could've hoped for. This Genesis version is a faithful rendition of the arcade blockbuster. If you're looking for an engaging sports game like no other, start jamming with NBA Jam today! This is a sports game for those of us who don't like sports games.

For the Genesis, this game does just fine and is probably one of the better sports games for the system. The voices are fuzzy and the colors are a bit bland. Still, the game is a very good play - even with four players!

This two-on-two arcade basketball game was originally released on the Super Nintendo, where it was a runaway hit. The Genesis can't quite reproduce the sharp graphics and clear voice samples of the SNES version, but it's close enough. I noticed it was easier to steal the ball in this version, which gives the defense a much-needed boost. The main problem I have with this game is the control. The Genesis controller just isn't designed for this type of game. Sure, you only need three buttons, but these need to be pressed in combination with each other. The SNES shoulder buttons were really the key. Anyway, if you can put up with the awkward control, this isn't a bad game. The action is fast and the dunks are ridiculously spectacular. But if you have an SNES, stick with that version.
