Man, how I long to play this 16-bit port of a B-ball classic again. I remember having played it one or two times when I was little. I even played one of my cousins' MegaDrive port of the game, even though there was nothing different (save for sound).
Knowing that I now have a Wii and so can download games on the VC, I got rid of my SNES (along with my 64, NES and Gamecube). And I just so happened to have a copy of this game.
Now, I'm no fan of sports simulators, but NBA Jam rocked my world! I also loved the "Boom shakalakalaka" thing the guy was always saying. I truly hope this game comes out for the VC sometime, or I'll be mad.
This game is Awesome!
