Item Description

When Acclaim kept the NBA Jam name, the people who actually made NBA Jam simply kept going. NBA Hang Time is the next chapter of Midway's two-on-two arcade basketball from the original Jam development team, and it took everything that made that game a sensation, the impossible dunks, the catching-fire streaks, the shove-first defense, and piled on new ideas.

The biggest is Create-a-Player. You set your baller's height, weight, power, shooting and defense from a limited pool of attribute points, then earn more by winning games and, in the home versions, by answering trivia questions correctly, so a custom player grows alongside you. On top of that come alley-oops, double dunks in which one teammate passes to the other in mid-flight, a new spin move and Team Fire, where both players catch fire at once after big alley-oop and double-dunk plays.

The secrets are half the fun. A three-digit combination lock on the Match Up screen accepts codes that change players' appearance or tweak the rules of play, and beating all 29 teams opens up matches against a collection of secret characters. Unlocking all of it was a playground project in 1996, and it still makes the game feel bigger than a quick arcade session.

The Genesis version was developed by Funcom and released by Midway in November 1996, late in the console's life. GamePro noted weaker sound effects and announcer than on the Nintendo 64, but rated the control just as highly and gave it a similar recommendation, and the fast, frantic pace that defines the game comes through intact. Next to NBA Jam on a Genesis shelf, it is the more feature-packed sibling, built by the team that invented the formula.

About the game

Hangtime was the third basketball game by the original development team behind the NBA Jam series. The title was changed due to the NBA Jam name being acquired by Acclaim Entertainment, the publisher of the games for the home market. Acclaim's NBA Jam Extreme was released the same year as Hangtime. Features introduced in Hangtime included character creation, alley oops and double dunks. A software update known as NBA Maximum Hangtime was released for the arcades later in the life cycle.
