Item Condition

Game only: the cartridge in a protective holder, no box or manual. The label is intact. Look over the photos for condition, packaging and details. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

Three straight buckets and the ball catches fire. From that moment your player can shoot from almost anywhere, goaltend without penalty and shove defenders aside with no whistle, and the announcer makes sure the whole room knows it. NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC is Midway's late-'90s heir to NBA Jam, and on the Nintendo 64 it plays exactly as loud as that sounds.

The formula is two-on-two and fast. You pick two starters from any NBA team and can choose a fresh pair for the second half, so matchups shift as the game goes on. Dunks are outrageous and defense is mostly a matter of timing a block or a shove, though personal fouls make their series debut here and send the other side to the free-throw line if you get too greedy. Tim Kitzrow, the voice of NBA Jam, is back on the call, and the presentation wears the network license proudly, right down to John Tesh's “Roundball Rock,” the theme anyone who watched the NBA on NBC can hum on cue.

The game began in arcades in April 1999 on Midway's Vegas hardware, sharing a dual cabinet with NFL Blitz 2000, and Eurocom brought it to the N64 that November with support for up to four players. Reviews landed in decent-but-not-dazzling territory, and NextGen summed up its appeal by suggesting it would best be called “NBA Jam 64.” The rosters are a snapshot of the late-'90s league, just before the turn of the millennium.

That is the selling point today: four controllers, four friends and the kind of arcade basketball where the trash talk matters as much as the box score. It bridges NBA Jam's 16-bit heyday and the 3D era, and it does it on the console that made four-player couch games a household habit.
