NBA JAM ARCADE VIDEO GAME

NBA JAM ARCADE GAME

NBA Jam is a basketball arcade game produced by Midway in 1993. The game became extremely popular right away. The NBA Jam video game started a new trend in sports based video games that are based around fast, action-packed game play with exaggerated realism.

How To Play The Game

The game employs an exaggerated, over-the-top style, which is demonstrated by the player dunking from superhuman heights.
NBA Jam, which features 2-on-2 basketball, is one of the first real playable basketball arcade games, and is also one of the first sports games to feature NBA-licensed teams and players, and their real digitized likenesses.

The main feature of NBA Jam is the exaggerated nature of the play - players jump many times above their own height, making slam dunks that defy both human capabilities and the laws of physics. There are no fouls, free throws, or violations except goal-tending and 24 second violations. This means the player is able to freely elbow or shove his opponent out of the way. Additionally, the game has an "on fire" feature, where if one player makes three (3) baskets in a row, he becomes "on fire" and has unlimited turbo, no goaltending, and increased shooting ability, until the other team scores (or the player has scored four (4) consecutive baskets while "on fire").
