Classic!
As far as a sports game goes it is meh, but a game to play with your friends it was a blast.
Especially when you turn on the big heads or play as Hilary Clinton

I wonder how many presidents have made it into a sports game? Awesome arcade basketball game. Contemplating buying a 1UP arcade for this.

It's not perfect, but being able to play NBA Jam at home in the 90's was one of the best things ever. It's still one of the best basketball games ever made. Put many hours into this.

This game's still on fire and a fun revisit. Had a birthday party as a kid years ago that had the Sega Genesis version being played in one room and the SNES in the other.

“He’s on fire!!” So many great quotes and fun gameplay of dropping elbowing on other players like you were the Rock.

He's heating up! He's on fire! Get a bucket! Oh my god He's buring alive!!! No seriously this game was the game that every weekend created tension between a group of friends until the next weekend. Just didn't look as nice as the arcade.

I still remember the first time I saw the original NBA jam in the arcade. “Altitude with an attitude!” How did they get the actual NBA license and players!?!?! The game was fun, difficult, and kept the score close enough so you always felt like you had a chance. When it’s sequel, NBA Jam Tournament Edition, was introduced, it consumed my life. After school, my friends and I would rush to the arcade to play each other and any unsuspecting arcade patrons with spare tokens. When you won a 4 player match, the winning team got a free game. I gravitated towards the bigs (Robinson,Ewing, Olajuwon ) while my friends set up for 3s on the outside. Charles Barkley is still my favorite though, his D is solid and he can hit the 3 if you start to trail. To improve, we read FAQ we obtained online before the internet was really a thing. Groundbreaking!

The home console version pales in comparison to the full arcade version. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

An all-time arcade style classic . . . Played this for years on the original Super Nintendo and then picked it back up when it was re-released in 2010 on Playstation 3! In fact, this game is the only reason my PS3 is still hooked up to this day! Easy to pick-up, tons of fun, and quotes for days! "He's on fire!"

I had so much fun playing this on SNES. Seeing arcadey gimmicks like flipping and dunking a flaming basketball to break the backboard was amazing.

Spent way too much money at the arcade playing this game with my friends. The wild shots, dunks and the commentary were classic and added to the fun we had.
