Item Description

Hear the opening notes of John Tesh's "Roundball Rock" and you know the game is on. NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC wraps Midway's two-on-two arcade basketball in the full NBC broadcast package, and the Dreamcast port captures the arcade original remarkably well, from the outrageous dunks to the camera flashes popping in the stands. It comes from the team behind NBA Jam and NBA Hangtime, and it plays exactly like the next chapter of that lineage.

The basics will feel instantly familiar: turbo, impossible slams, rapid-fire steals and an announcer who never runs out of energy. Showtime adds a few wrinkles of its own. Goaltending gets called, and after five fouls the other team heads to the free-throw line, which keeps games from turning into pure shoving matches. A new create-a-player mode lets you build up a custom baller's ratings the more you win, even topping him with a team mascot's head, and you can save your records under a name and PIN in true Midway style. At the end of each quarter the camera sweeps around the frozen action in a slow-motion freeze-frame that was very much of its era.

It is a game built for company. Reviewers found the computer opponents cheap and the single-player side thin, with no season mode at all, but put four people on four Dreamcast controllers and it becomes non-stop chaos, all with the late-1990s NBA rosters and that unmistakable television theme. Few basketball games capture the sound and swagger of NBA on NBC this completely, and it makes a perfect partner to the more serious NBA 2K on the same shelf.
