Which is the greatest?

* NBA Jam
* NBA Jam Tournament Edition
* NBA Hangtime
* NBA Maximum Hangtime
* NBA Showtime - NBA On NBC


-------------------------------------

It used to be that I would have said "NBA Jam: T.E." without hesitation, but after living with "NBA Showtime" for a little while, I'm not so sure. That's a damn fine game. (And having the "SportStation" kit installed is 100% WIN.)
 
well I own a jam TE pcb and while I will say its amazing and def. one I grew up playing. I will say I like showtime better. I have it for n64 and play it non stop, I like the newer rosters with iverson and bryant and shaq, I dont know to many from JAM because I wasnt a basketball fan back then, I just loved the game.

Also I like the newer animations, ally oops, and dunks, and also with showtime I think double tapping turbo is a special move right?
 
Showtime, having had Jam, Jam TE, and then showtime, I wouldnt go back to the others, not a big basketball fan, but its fun to play and having Blitz in there as well is great!
 
I really don't like basketball, I've played all the NBA's and Hangtime rocks!

I noticed NBA Extreme is left out, I know Acclaim did it I think, not considered to be in the same series?
 
I like revision 1 or 2 of TE solely for the ability to play as the MK characters. As far as gameplay I do like the original NBA jam the best probably. I do own a Sportstation cab though so I get to play showtime all of the time.
 
NBA Jams is the best! It seems to also retain it's value a little better on CL. :rolleyes:









Seriously though, have only played NBA Jam and TE on the SNES. Does the arcade Jam and TE have Dick Vitelli or what ever his name is? He made NBA Jam great on the SNES, but they didn't use his voice on TE and it sucked. Kaboom Baby!
