Retro saturdays and nba jam

Nba jam revolutionized sports upon it's release at the arcades. The popular basketball games were simulations that dragged on. Nba jam changed everything, it was 2 on 2 with a huge emphasis on scoring. You could dunk way above the backboard, fouls were toned down, the action was intense. It made for addicting gameplay especially when you played with friends. It was a big hit and quickly found home ports(even on the gameboy). What I most remember is mj and charles barkley not being in the game then there was all the half sequels like tournament edition and extreme and a college themed one called college slam

There isn't much else to say about nba jam other that it influenced nfl blitz and nba showtime but it still holds up held and the digitized graphics look good
