Retrospective: NBA Jam

During the early 1990’s an arcade machine would grace the gaming world with a new style of sports title different than anything that had been seen before. It was a fast paced physical basketball game that anyone could pick up and play. The game was NBA Jam and the year was 1993. Midway had created a masterpiece and Acclaim did a great job of porting it over to home consoles shortly after. Acclaim was not known for creating great games but its arcade ports were usually on point. Although NBA Jam started out in the Arcades, in America the Sega Genesis port was king. This was probably due to the fact that the Genesis was always known for its great arcade conversions.
