NBA Jam

Review
Also known as
NBAジャム

Control a single player in two-on-two arcade basketball, performing exaggerated dunks while ignoring most rules.

NBA Jam was originally released in arcades in 1993. The Sega Genesis version was released in 1994.

About NBA Jam

NBA Jam presents a two versus two basketball experience featuring real NBA teams and players. While the play clock and three point line are present, many other standard basketball rules are not strictly enforced.

Each participant controls one athlete on the court, making the selection of a complementary teammate an important consideration. The action is fast paced and includes exaggerated moves like powerful slam dunks that would not be possible in a real game. A full set of performance statistics is tracked automatically during play.
