I remember being a kid and not understanding why Jordan was absent from the game.

This was the first game I bought with my own money. I had this poster on my wall. Also, I’m old lol. I miss the hell outta arcade sports games. They pretty much don’t exist anymore, sadly.

This is one of the only games I genuinely remember playing and enjoying with my sister when I was 3-4 years old. Didnโt know what was going on but we would take turns going to the opposite side of the court and shooting full court shots

Get on fire against me and I’m socking you out.

Greed and licensing have probably ruined any chance of this coming back but I’d be on board with WNBA Jam! Honestly I just loved the game play and the teams were second to that. Time to ride the oncoming wave of women’s basketball and get them a game. Bring back simple arcade basketball and the WNBA would be perfect for this franchise return.

One of my favorite games growing up.

How have we not gotten a new NBA Jam. Or Street. Or some version of Hitz and Blitz. Man, I miss good arcade sports games.

From an interview with the creator:
>In 2008, Mark Turmell spoke publicly about the game’s coding specifics, admitting that he made sure to stack the odds against the Bulls given that he was a huge Pistons fan. He made it so that in a close game between the Bulls and the Pistons, any last-second shot the Bulls attempted would miss badly.

Loved this game! A remake would be fucking amazing!

Finding the big head switch in this was fantastic. It was already the best basketball game around, but that took it to a new level.ย

When I was a kid in the 90s, I never had consoles. My buddy had a Genesis, and NBA Jam was the first console game I ever played.
I remember seeing this game in arcades before it hit console, peeps were lined up with their quarters
